Gigi Dall’Igna has offered his insight into how Ducati will choose their 2025 rider line-u꧅p.

Francesco Bagn♔aia, the Mot🥃oGP champion and Ducati’s star man, is tied to a long-term contract which he signed earlier this year.

His teammate in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2025 MotoGP rider line-up is still to be decided.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Enea Bastianini (who currently has the seat), Pramac’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin and Gresini’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez make up the three-man shortlist.

The Ducati general manager admitted ahead of this weekend’s French🔜 MotoGP at Le Mans that the final decision will factor in more than just 2024 result🐓s.

“It’s a really difficult decision♛,”🔯 Dall’Igna said.

“Honestly speaking we must not only consider theꦍ 2🥀024 races.

“We have to consid💙er all the history of our riders. I think𝔉 this is important.

“It’s a really difficuℱlt decision because all three riders are champions.

“We will see….”

Although Marquez has no ‘history’ wꦫith D🔜ucati before the start of this year, he does have a history as a MotoGP great with eight world titles under his belt.

Whether Dall’Igna will prioritise ‘history’ within the Italian 𝕴manufacturer, or in MotoGP overall, remains to be seen.

Marquez has ma𓄧de it very clear in recent weeks that he is seeking a factory-spec bike for 2025. He is riding a GP23 with Gresini this year.

After four rounds oཧf the season, Mar𝐆tin leads the championship.

Bagnaia is 17 points behi🅺nd M🐈artin. Third-placed Bastianini is five points behind Bagnaia. Sixth-placed Marquez is 32 points behind the leader Martin.

Dall’Igna insisted that his big decision will be made by Mugello - the seventh round🌠 of the chᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚampionship from May 31.

“Yes. We have to be fair wi✱th all the riders,” he said.

“We have to give them the possibiliꦆties to find a way to ride the🔯 best possible bike, if it’s not a Ducati.

“So I think this timeframe is reasonable.”
