Gigi Dall’Igna has offered his insight into how Ducati will choose t༺heir 2025 rider line-up.

Francesco Bagnaia🍌, the MotoGP champion and Ducati’s star man, is tied to a long-term contract which he signed earlier this year.

His teammate in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2025 MotoGP rider line-up is still to be decided.

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

The Ducati general manager admitte💜d ahead of this w♋eekend’s French MotoGP at Le Mans that the final decision will factor in more than just 2024 results.

“It’s a really difficult decision,” Dall’Igna ౠsaid.

“Honestly speaking we must not only consider♓ the 2024 races.

“We have to consider all the history ꦐof our ༒riders. I think this is important.

“It’s a reಞally difficult decision because all three rider🌊s are champions.

“We will see….”

Although Marquez has no ‘history’ with Ducati before the start of this ꦇyear, he does have a history aꦓs a MotoGP great with eight world titles under his belt.

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

Marquez has made 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 of theꦫ season, Martin leads the championship.

Bagnaia is 17 points behind Martin. Third-placed Bastianini is five points behind Bagnaia. Sixth-placed Marquez is 32 points behind the leade🐭r Martin.

Dal♎l’Igna insisted that his big decision will be made by Mugello - the seventh round of the championship from Ma♎y 31.

“Yes. ꦆWe have to be fair with all thཧe riders,” he said.

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

“So I think this timeframe is reasonable.”
