As the unofficial deadline of Mugello looms, the ongoing uncertainty over Francesco Bagnaia’s 2025 factory Ducati team-mate continues.
“There's a difference between announcing a decision and making a decision,” MotoGP editor Pete McLaren said on this week’s“We've heard this Mugello date for a while now. Gigi's mentioned it and I think he's also used the phrase that it's the ‘sporting thing to do’ because he wants the riders that are let down to have time to find other seats if they wish.
Podcast host Jordan Moreland replied: “How difficult do you think it is for Ducati to compare someone like Martin, who they’ve seen develop over a couple of years, with someone like Marquez, who has only done a few rounds with them? “In a perfect world, if you're Ducati, you want to keep both. That's your dream goal. You've got Bagnaia. If you could keep Martin and Marquez as well for next year, all on factory bikes, what a line-up!
“So if you’re Ducati, and you want to keep all these guys, the only way you can have a chance of that is to sign Martin for the factory team.”
