Ducati want to keep tw🎃o of the three riders in the mix for the 2025 official te🀅am, it has been claimed.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini, currently in possession of the factory Ducati bike, is fending off interest from Gresini’s Marc Marquez 🃏and Pramac’s Jorge Martin.

A decision from Ducati bosses i🌳s expected by the end of May.

Bastianini’🤪🎀s manager - the paddock veteran Carlo Pernat - has shared a theory about Ducati’s changing plans.

“Ducati’s decision, which will probably come after th✱e Mugello GP, is blocking everyone: KTM, Aprilia, Yamaha,” Pernat told .

“No one wants to make contracts. There a💝re maybe voice agreements, which have the value that they have…

“I understand Ducati because they have three very strong riders and, if at the beginning they thought they woulಞd leave two of them without a ride, now their mentality has changed.

🐽“I have the impression that [Ducati] want✨s to keep two of them and so it will be putting pressure, especially with Pramac.

“But Yamaha is pushing hard with Paolo Campinot♑i. These days there will definitely be talks, my guess is before Mugello, Pramac will also decide what to do.”

Pramac are considering whether to sign a new contract to remain as 🤡a Ducati satellite team, or to go to Yamaha in 2025.

If they go to Yamaha, a ‘25-spec Desmosedici disappears as🤡 an option for Marqu🍒ez, Martin or Bastianini.

Basꦏtianini’s manager insists that his man remain💃s firmly in the mix.

Last year, his first weari෴ng red, was scuppered by injury but he has offered reminders of his talents since.

Heading to this weekend’s Catalunya MotoGP, Bastianini has equal points as Marquez. They are 40 points behind cham🎉pionship leꦆader Martin.

“If Ducati is postponing the decision it is because they still have confidence in him,” Pe💦rnat 😼said about Bastianini.

But he has been busy at work consid🐓ering other options, if Ducati’s big decision doe✨s not go their way.

“Goin🌄g to Pramac with an official bike cou🧔ld be a possibility, but it’s not certain,” he said.

“I speak as a manager, the s൩irens of Apꦦrilia, KTM and even Yamaha are calling.

“I can’t hide the fact that Ap🍰rilia has important aspects.”
