Gigi Dall’Igna h🌟as offered his insight iꦗnto how Ducati will choose their 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 thi𓂃s 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 admitted ahead of this weekend’s French MotoGP at Le Mans that the final decision will factor in more than j𝔍ust 2024 results.

“It’s a really dif🌜ficult decision,” Dall’Igna said.

“Honestly speaking we must not only cons♊ider the 2024🥃 races.

“We have to consider all the history of⛎ our riders. I think this is🦋 important.

“It🐽’s a really difficult decision because ꦛall three riders are champions.

“We will see….”

Although Marquez has no ‘history’ with Ducati before the start of this year, he does have a history as a MotoGP great with eight world titles und🍬er his belt.

Whether Dall’Igna will prioritise ‘history’ within the Italian manufacturer, or in MotoGP ov⛄erall, remains to be seen.

Marquez has made it very clear in recent weeks that he is seeking a factory-spe🌊c bike for 2025. He is riding a GP23 with Gresini this year.

After four rounds of the season, Martin leads the cham🀅pionship.

Bag🔜naia 🦩is 17 points behind Martin. Third-placed Bastianini is five points behind Bagnaia. Sixth-placed Marquez is 32 points behind the leader Martin.

Dall’ꦍIgna insisted that his big decision will be made by Mugello - the seventh round of the championship from May 31.

“Yes. ܫWe have 🎀to be fair with all the riders,” he said.

“We have to give them the possibilities to find a way to ride the best possibl🔯e ﷺbike, if it’s not a Ducati.

“So I think this timeframe is reasonable.”
