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

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista, reigning champion the last two years, is the preferred option to stꦰay alongside Nicolo B♒ulega.

Dall’Igna, who was in Misano last weekend said a deal to remain with tiꦏtle-sponsor Aruba.it was close, before going on to discuss th൩e future of Bautista.

“We are ren🍌ewing 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 dou𝐆ble world champion with us and for sure, h𝓡e is an important rider for us. We would like to continue with him.”

If Bautis🐎ta decides to retir🌠e which is very possible, Ducati will need to find an alternative option.

Rep🎃lacing 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 contender 🦋after four rounds.

Ducati appears to have a ready-made replacement in Andrea Iannone, however, Dall’Igna admitted more 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 times but he has to improve a little bit. I’m confident becaඣuse I know him and his talent. I know he can do very well.”

Asked whether Iannone could replace 🅰Bautista, Dall’Igna reiterated Ducati stance on who they want to secure.

“I don’t think it is imporꦐtant to talk abo𝓀ut that today because our first choice is Alvaro.”
