Ducati have been warned that the true cost of losing several ♔young riders might be felt in 2027.

In three years, the🧸 new MotoGP regulations will kick in providing hope for other manufacturers that they can begin their own eras of domination.

F♕or now Ducati are firmly in charge, and will hope to keep hold of the champi𝓡onship next year when Marc Marquez joins Pecco Bagnaia in their factory team.

The r🍸esult of choosing Marquez for the coveted red bike is losing Enea Bastianini to Tech3 KTM, Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi to Aprilia, and even t𓆏he Pramac team who will join Yamaha.

Marquez, meanwhile, will be the seco🎃nd-oldest rider on the grid next year.

“It’s going to hurt if you are one of those young 🦩riders. You wཧill be disappointed,” broadcaster Simon Crafar commented on the big Ducati decision for their 2025 bike.

“But, if you look at the other side, Ducati want to wiౠn t🍎he championship.

“It’s the strongest pairing in a long time. They have the best chance to win it, they have the s🦋trongest machine.

“You could say they’ve upset riders.”

Bagnaia and Marque♈z are contracted until the end of 2026, before the new regulations begin.

Ducati may hope to bring Martin, Bezzecchi or Bastianini back int⛎o the fold in 2027 with the promise of the best bike in the sport.

“When it’s time to replace Marc o🅺r Pecco, if you’ve got the best bike, riders want t🌌o ride your machine. You renegotiate,” Crafar said.

“It’s a brutal world! It’s how it is. I totally understand they🙈 have taken the tough line but with their eye on the prize.

But Ducati have been told that, if rival manufacturers♈ rise up with impressive projects for 2027 and beyond, the likes of Martin and Bastianini might not fancy coming back to the manufacturer which ditched them this year.

Crafar said: “If they don’t turn up with ꦗthe best bike in 2027 with the new regs?

“It might be a bit trickier…”

Ducati have bet big on recruiting Marquez, ༺the eight-time world champion.

It is a decision whicᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚh has cost them an impressive array of talent.

Ducati have insisted that their commi🐓tment to young riders will continue, despite signing Marquez, and point to the incoming Fermin Aldeguer as proof.

But the d🅠evelopment of the Desmosedici will have to continue in the background regardless of which big-name riders are contracted.
