Gigiꦉ Dall’Igna has been reminded that del🧸aying his decision over Ducati’s 2025 rider duo could backfire.

Choosing Frances🌸co Bagnaia’s teammate in red next season is a crucial decision which the entire rider market is waiting for.

Enea Bastianini’s contract expires althou𒅌gh he has shown good form this season, while Jorge Martin and Marc Marquez are also candidates.

“The three big names ar🌸e Pedro Acosta - he’ll stay wheꦯre he is, in KTM,” assessed Neil Hodgson on TNT Sports.

“But where’s Marc going? And where’s our champion🌄ship leader going?

“They are the two with question marks.

“There are loaಞds of rumours but we don’t know where they will end up.

“Marc wants a factory bike, so does Martin.

“There is a🦩 factory ride available next ꩵto Bagnaia, that’s the seat everybody wants. Who will get it?

“The championship lea♐der is Martin and he wants it - you’d have 🍃to say, he’s the favourite.

“But does Gigi Dall’I🧜gna wait? Because he can. He holds all the cards.

“But, by waitin༺g, you might miss Martin because he might not want to wait too long.

𒐪“He’ll [might] get an opportunity to ride at Aprilia who have produced an incredible motorcycle that is capable of winning the championship.”

Sylvain Guintoli added: “It’s all kickingཧ off behind the scenes.

“The major players are signed - Bagnaia, Binder, Quartararo. I think it will fall into place quick💃ly.

“It’s a given that [KTM] will move Acosta quic🎐kly into the factory team.

“[Bastianini] has not done anything wrong. Last season was ruined by i🧜njury which wasn’t his fault.

“[Ducati] might wait. There could be a block at the top because they are waiting for the Ducati factory ride, for e༒xample, and things will g꧒o into the summer.”

Suzi Perry replied: “I’d sign Marc…”

Guintoli said: “But what if Martin wins the championship and takes the #1 some🌠whe𒈔re else?”
