Ducati will not confirm their 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2025 MotoGP rider line-up at Mugello this weekend.

The date of the Italian M🐟otoGP has been widely circulated as the deadline for the Italy-based manufacturer’s massive call over who will partner🐓 Pecco Bagnaia next season.

His current teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Enea Bastianini, Gresini’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez and Pramac’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin are in the hat for the coveted red bike.

B🌱ut they will now be forced to wait even longer to learn their fa𝓀te.

“We have never said that we are going to announce it at Mugello,” a Ducati spokesperson told ܫ;.

“What we have always said is that, f𝐆rom Mugello onwards, we will begin to outline what the decision is.”

Ducati general manager Gigi Dall’Igna said: “The decision will come soon, but then contracts are always complicated and negot👍iations can take longer than expected.

“We will need time to apply the idea, make it a reality and then co𝄹mmunicate it to the pu🃏blic.”

Ducati CEO Claudio Domenica𝄹li told Sky Italia: "They are all top-level riders, but we are confident that we will be able to find the right balance.”

The Italian MotoGP this weekend is the seventh round of 🎉the 2024 season.

Afterwards, there is a three-week bre🎉ak⛄ until Assen.

Ducati’s mon🀅umental decision has the entire MotoGP paddock waiting on its outcome.

Bastianini’s🦩 first year as a factory rider was wrecked by injury and has put him on the back foot t✱his season.

In-form Martin was denied the championship at ☂the final round last year, and as a result missed out on the automatic promotion to the factory team that the title would have brough🐲t.

Martin leads ꦇthe MotoGP championship after six rounds heading into Mugello.

He has claimed he will qu💫it Ducati if he doesn’t wear꧂ red in 2025.

Ducati h🐈ave welcomed the high-profile Marquez into their ranks this year, at an independent te꧑am.

But Marquez insists he was a factory-🤡spec bike next year, not the year-old version which he currently rides.

The knock-on effect of t✅his rider decision also imp🍷acts Pramac, as a team.

They are considering whether to stay with Ducati next year or༒ go to Yamaha.

As a ༒result, Gresini and VR46 are also aff🐈ected as Ducati’s other satellite teams.

Other key movements in the rider market are also awaiting Ducati’s decision, to discover which riders or which bikes will become availablꦑe in 2025.
