Ducati will lose ꦿthe PR war if Aprilia unveil a #1 plate on their 2025 bike, Davide Tardozzi has beenꩵ told.

Pramac Ducati’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin takes a 24-point lead into this weekend’s MotoGP season-finale in Barcelona.

He is red-hot favourite to wrap up his fiꦯrst title but will go to Aprilia in 2025 - meaning Ducati’s rival manufacturer could run the coveted #1 plate on Martin’s bike next year.

Ducati team ꦆboss Tardozzi insisted they will be content knowing Martin became champion on a D🦩ucati, regardless of the appearance of next year’s Aprilia.

But TNT Sports’ Michael Lave🍬rty claimed: “That will sting, there is no doubt about it.

“As much as they will sugarcoa🌜t it by saying he’s the champion on a Ducati in the record books, they will lose the PR exercise next year.

“A♑nd Aprilia will gain it. They will stick the #1 plate on the Aprilia, for sure!

“You would capitalise on it.”

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia, who has won thꦗe title in each of the past๊ two seasons, must complete an almighty comeback in Barcelona to retain it.

And he arg👍uably lacks assistance on the grid - teammate Enea Bastianini owes Ducati nothing after🐷 they replaced him for 2025, and he will go to KTM.

Marc Marquez is Bagnaia’s next t🐓eammate but he is unlikely to want to get involved in the title f🤡ight.

Lavert🌸y told Ducati: “They can’t force it. They can’t force Enea to help. Martin has been more consistent w🐼ith less mistakes.

“They’ve got a double wo🌠rld champion but this hasn’t been Pecco’s year.”

Pramac are clos🔯e 🦋to the huge coup of beating their own factory to the title.

It would be a remarkable end to their alliance, because Pramac have signed up to become a♍ Yamaha satellite p♚roject from 2025 onwards.

Neil Hodgson said: “It’s huge. 🌳That is a satellite team - they don’t have the same amoun๊t of personnel.

“It’s quite a step up to the full factory team.

“It has never happened, we have never had a satellite team win the MotoGP title. I know Valentino Rossi wo💞n in 2001 on a full factory bike.

“But we’ve not had it, especially at this level.

“For a satellite team to put oneꦇ over on the fa🎃ctory? It’s huge.

“If it happens, the f♈act that it’s Pramac? They are the friendly team, they’ve always been friendly.

“Paolo Campinoti who runs the team has been in this paddock for 25 years, spending ൩millions of his o🐟wn money.”
