Ducati Corse general manager Gigi Dall’Igna has admitted to some sleepless nights, and changing his mind several times, as he mulled over whether to give the coveted 2025 factory seat to title leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez.

Ultimately, Dall’Igna is convinced that Marquez is the right choice and, with a combined eight MotoGP titlesꦐ for the Spaniard (6) and future team-mate Francesco Bagnaia (2), bel🍎ieves Ducati has secured its best-ever line-up.

"I♛ hope that tonight is the first in which I will really rest,” Dall♔’Igna told . 

“It was a complicated decision, both from a sporting point of v𝓰iew and from a human point of view, because no rider has ever gone out of line. There have never been any improprieties.

“I have changed idea several ti꧙mes ꦯthese days, but in the end, I'm convinced that Marquez is the right choice. We have the best team in the history of Ducati. I'm really happy."

"The decision was made on Sunday at Mugello,” Dall’Igna added. “We had little time to s♛ort out the details of the contract🍸.”

D🔯all’Igna admitteജd Ducati hoped to keep both Martin and Marquez.

But with the eight-time world champion ruling out a✃ switch to Pramac, and a factory bike at Gresini apparently not possible, they went 'all-in' on the #93.

"Our go🔜al was to keep both Martin and Marquez and we knew from the start that it would be very complicated,” he said. “We tried until the end, unt♓il we realised that it was no longer possible.

“The solution was to bet on Martin or bet on Marquez. This was🦄 also a complicated decision, but in the enꦦd we opted for Marc."

Mar♔quez’s abi🅠lity to stand-out among the eight Ducati riders despite just seven GPs on a year-old Desmosedici tipped the balance in his favour.

"The awareness, achieved in recent months, that he can make a difference w🐼ith o🅺ur bike,” Dall’Igna said.

“Our bike has reached incredible levels, so the fact of having two riders like Marquez and Bagnaia increases the chances of winning 🌼the World Championship, which is the ꦿour goal.”

Dall’Igna feels there is little to choose between future team-mates Bagnaia and Marquez🔜, who are the o𝓡nly multiple premier-class champions on the grid.

"They are two champions. They are determined. They have both suffered and know how to suffer,” Dall’Igna said. “It is in those moments that you see the spirit of the ౠchampion. In my opinion, yes, they will play on equal terms"

While Martin signed for Aprilia on Monday evening, Bagnaia’s current team-mate Enea Bastianini🎉 is tippe༒d to join KTM via a place at Tech3.
