Ducati has ruled out revealing its decision on who will partner Francesco Bagnaia at its factory MotoGP team for 2025 at this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix.
Over the last few weeks, Ducati management has suggested that it wants to make a decision on who partners Bagnaia in 2025 by the Mugello race. Coming into this weekend’s seventh round of the year, it appears the decision is between championship leader Jorge Martin and eight-time grand prix world champion Marc Marquez. While a decision is expected soon, Ducati has told Motorsport.com's Spanish edition that an announcement will have to wait.
” In an ideal world, Ducati will promote Martin to the factory team while Marquez – who has softened to the idea in recent weeks – would take his place at Pramac with full factory support. However, this situation is not as easy as it seems. With Martin being passed over for a factory team seat in favour of Enea Bastianini for last year, he sees no other option to remain at Ducati other than replacing Bastianini in 2025.
