Gigi Dall’Igna has provided an update on the factory Ducati team’s plans in WorldSBK for 2025.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alvaro Bautista, reigning champion the last two years, is the preferred oꦦption to stay alongside Nicolo Bulꦗega.

Dall’Igna, who was in Misano ౠlast weekend said a deal to remain with title-sponsor Aruba.it was close, before going on to discuss the future of Bautista.

“We are renewing the contract with Aruba🔯,” Dall’Igna told WorldSBK.com. “We have almost close the deal with them and after that we have to finalise the contracts with the riders.

“Alvaro is a double world champion with 🍸us and for sure, he is an important rider for us. We would like to continue 🧜with him.”

If Bautista decide🐻s to 🎉retire which is very possible, Ducati will need to find an alternative option.

Replacing Bautista will 🔥not be easy as he’s dominated WorldSBK with Ducati the last two years.

Although 2024 has been a lot tougher, Bautista is still a title con💖tender after four rounds.

Ducati appears to have a ready-made replacement in Andrea Iannone, however, Dall’Igna admitted♎ mo🐠re is needed from the Italian.

“Andrea was without racing for four long years, he came back a few months ago and it’s not easy,” began Dall’Igna. 

“He has shown his potential some tiꦇmes but he has to improve a little bit. I’m con🌺fident because I know him and his talent. I know he can do very well.”

Asked whether Iannone ꦏcould replace ไBautista, Dall’Igna reiterated Ducati stance on who they want to secure.

“I don’t thin🍌k it is important to talk about that today because our first cho🔜ice is Alvaro.”
