The 2025 MotoGP season will bring significant transformations to Ducati, which will adjust the team and rider structure defined by Gigi Dall’Igna to adapt to the new circumstances of the championship. In a surprising turn, Ducati will have to reduce its range of bikes from 8 to 6, marking a major change in its strategy for participating in competitions. This adjustment is the consequence of a notable reconfiguration with the Pramac team, which will partner with Yamaha for next year, and the addition of Marc Marquez to the official Ducati team, where he will join Pecco Bagnaia.
The announcement of these changes was supported by recent statements by Gigi Dall’Ignageneral manager of Ducati Corsewho discussed the implications of these changes in an interview with Sky Sport. In a thoughtful and appreciative tone, From Igna addressed the transition of Pramac to Yamaha and the internal restructuring of Ducati.
The team
Pramacwho had been a close ally of
Ducati in recent years, will disengage and join forces with Yamaha. Dall’Igna expressed his gratitude to Pramac for his contribution during the time they shared: ” First of all, I want to thank Pramac and Paolo for all these years together and for the beautiful things we have done. Ducati has also grown thanks to his contribution, because together we have developed our bike and the talents that ride it. »
From Igna then highlighted the importance of the Pramac team for Ducati and the impact of his departure. They did an important job and We regret both from a professional and human point of view to lose such a beautiful and important reality.. » However, despite this loss,
From Igna stressed that Ducati
has not changed its philosophy and remains committed to developing young talent. The signing ofAldeguer
is an example of this commitment, with the intention of replicating the successes achieved with pilots such as Pecco Bagnaia et Enea Bastianini.
The change in the structure of Ducati
also involves a reconfiguration in the distribution of its motorcycles. For the 2025 seasonDucati plans to have 3 official bikes and 3 bikes from the previous yeara strategy it considers appropriate to balance pilot development and economic efficiency.
From Igna has explained : ” the goal is to have 3 official bikes and 3 from the previous year, because
This seems to us to be the right balance both from the point of view of the growth of the pilots and from the economic point of view.. »
Gigi Dall’Igna: « Along with Marquez, Fabio Di Giannantonio is the rider who best interprets the Ducati of the previous year »
The choice of Marc Marquez for the official team Ducati was an important strategic decision, which had repercussions on other drivers. From Igna acknowledged that by choosing
Marquezother drivers like
Martin et Bastianini were inevitably forced to seek new opportunities.
Without a doubt, we had to choose a driver and we had 3. It is clear that by choosing one, the other two would be on the market and would not be on a Ducati. It was a reality. from the beginning of the year and we knew we could only keep one. » Despite the difficulty of the decision,
From Igna clarified that the relocation of these pilots cannot be attributed to Marquezbut rather the need to make adjustments within the team.
Another point of interest in the interview was the future of drivers like By Giannantonio et
Aldeguer. Dall’Igna expressed his satisfaction with the performance of By Giannantoniodescribing it as a “ excellent driver ” who demonstrated his abilities on the track. ” Di Giannantonio is an excellent driver. He won one race last year, he could have won two. He is having a great season and probably, along with Marquez, he is the rider who best interprets the bike from last year.. »
From Igna expressed his desire to keep By Giannantonio in the team, while acknowledging that competition for his signature will be fierce.
As for AldeguerDall’Igna revealed that the driver would be placed in one of the satellite teams of
Ducatialthough specific details have yet to be worked out. Aldeguer will end up in one of our two satellite teamswe are not ready to make an announcement yet, but we will define everything soon. » L’incorporation d’Aldeguer reflects the commitment of Ducati towards the development of new talents and continuity in its pilot training strategy.
With the next race at the Sachsenring, Gigi
From Igna anticipates an interesting challenge for the team. The Sachsenring is known to be a favorable terrain for Marc Marquezet From Igna
hope on motosan that Marquez will be able to show competitive performance. It is difficult to make such predictions. Without a doubt, the Sachsenring is a circuit where
Marquezwhen he was fit and had the bike to do it, always won. I hope he can participate in the fight.. »
With these adjustments, Ducati continues to focus on developing talent and optimizing its resources to remain competitive in the MotoGP championship.
