Friction within Ducati; “possibility” to rethink which team receives a ‘25 bike
Negotiations rumbl🉐ꦰe on to extend Ducati and Pramac partnership but potential stumbling block emerges

Ducati could reportedly decide against giving two factory bikes to Pramac next year, in faඣvℱour of Gresini or VR46.
Pramac currently enjoy two latest-spec Desmosedici machines, while fellow satellite teams Gresini an🥃d VR46 ride year-old bikes.
But report a “possibility” that Ducati will only offer the guarantee 🍌of a single factory bike to Pramac in 2025.
That would mean either Gresini (who currently have Marc Marque🥀z and Alex Marquez as its riders) or VR46 (Marco Bezzecchi and Fabio di Giannantonio) could receive one 2025-spec bike next year.
There is reportedly “friction” caused by the possibility that Pramac could have one of their latest-spec bikes withdrawn n🌳🤡ext season.
Pramac and Ducati are currently in talks over a deal to ex🎃tend their partnership into 2025 and 2026.
From the outside, everything looks rosy with Pramac’s Jorge Martin narrowly missing out on the MotoGP title last season and ꧑cu𒅌rrently leading the standings.
But Ducati are also negotiating with VR46ﷺ over✤ whether to keep them as a satellite team.
Gresini’s immediate future is secure but they have the X-fa🅰ctor of Marquez within🔴 their ranks.
The clues surrounding Fermin Aldeguer
Moto2 star Fermin Aldeguer has been announce꧋d as a future Ducati MotoGP for next year.
He anticipates ♕joining Pramac, and the t🍨eam expects him to arrive, yet no official communication has been made.
Aldeguer has been promised a 2025 bike when he steps into the premier class - which, at the time, indicated an obv♌ious move to Pramac.
But should Pramac either not renew their deal to stay with Ducati, or Ducati remove one of the ‘25 bikes from Pramac’s use, then the situa🍒tion surrounding Aldeguer come🍒s under question.
"I still don't know which team I'm going to race for,”🎉 Aldeguer has said.
“I have a contract with Ducati Corse and they will place me where the best ཧoption is, always with the maximum support from the f⛄actory and the best possible bike.”
Titl💎e contender Martin is expected to move on next year - either to the factory Ducati t🅰eam or another manufacturer altogether.
Franco Morbidelli is his teammate this season.
Negotiations to resolve their ꦯdifferences between Ducati and Pramac continue.
