Davide Tardozzi warned that Ducati will “lose PR exercise”
“That will sting, there is no doubt about it..."

Ducಌati will lose the PR war if Aprilia unveil a #1 plate on their 2025 bike, Davide Tardozzi has been told.
Pramac Ducati’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin takes a 24-point lead into this weekend’s MotoGP season-finale in Barcelona.
He is red-hot favourite to wrap up his first title but will go to Aprilia in 2025🤪 - meaning Ducati’s rival manufacturer could run the coveted #1 plate on Martin’s bike next year.
Ducati team boss Tardozzi insi𝓰sted they will be content knowing Martin became champion on a Ducati, regardless of the appearance of next year’s Aprilia.
But TNT Sports’ Michael Laverty claimed: “ꦍThat will sting, there is no doubt about it.
“As much as they will sugarcoat it by saying he’s 🅠the champion on a Ducati in the record books, thꦇey will lose the PR exercise next year.
“And Aprilia will gain it. They will stick the #1 plate on the Aprilia, fo𒉰r sure!
“You would capitalise on it.”
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia, who has won the title in each of the past two seasons, must complete 𒁏an almighty comeback in Barcelona to retain it.
And he arguably lacks assistance on the grid - teammate Enea Bastianini owes Ducati nothing after they replaced him for 2025, and he will gღo t💯o KTM.
Marc Marquez is Bagnaia’s next teammate but he𝕴 is unlikely to want to get involved in the title fight.
Laverty told Ducati:𓃲 “They can’t force it. They can’t force Enea to help. Martin has been more consistent with less mistakes.
“They’ve got a double world champion but this hasn’t been Pecꩵco’s year.”
Pramac are close to the huge coup of ♍beating their own factory to the title.
It would be a remarkable end🔯 to their alliance, because Pramac have signed 😼up to become a Yamaha satellite project from 2025 onwards.
Neil Hodgson said: “It’s huge. That is a satellite team - they donꦇ’t have the same amount of personnel.
“It’s quite a step up to the full factory team.
“It has never happened, we have never had ไa satellite team win the MotoGP title. I know 🔥Valentino Rossi won in 2001 on a full factory bike.
“But we’ve not had it, especially at this level.
“Forไ a satellite team to put one over on the factor♏y? It’s huge.
“If it happens, the fact that it’s Pramac? They are the friendly team, they’ve always beဣen🦂 friendly.
“Paolo Campinoti who runs the team has been in this paddock for 25 yearﷺs, s﷽pending millions of his own money.”
