Ducati will not confirm their 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2025 MotoGP rider line-up at Mugello this weekend.

The date of the Italian MotoGP has been widely circulated as the deadline for the Italy-based manufacturer♔’s massive call over who will partner Pecco Bagnaia next season.

His current teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini, Gresini’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez and Pramac’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin are in the hat for the coveted red bike.

But they will now be 💟force♑d to wait even longer to learn their fate.

“We have never said that we are going to announce it at Mugello,” a Ducꦐati spokesperson told .

“What we have always 🍸said is that, from Muge♍llo onwards, we will begin to outline what the decision is.”

Ducati generꦅal manager Gigi Dall൩’Igna said: “The decision will come soon, but then contracts are always complicated and negotiations can take longer than expected.

“We will need time to apply the idea, make🦄 it a reality and then communicate it tꦰo the public.”

Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali told Sky Italia: "They🔜 are all top-level riders, but we are confident that we will be able to find the right balance.”

The Italian MotoGP this weekend is the seven🔜th round of the 2024 season.

Afterwards,ℱ there is a thr🌺ee-week break until Assen.

Ducati’s monumentꦯal decision has the entire MotoGP paddock waiting on its outcome.

Bastianini’s first year as a factory rider was wreck𒆙ed by injury and has put him o🔜n the back foot this season.

In-form Martin was denied the championship at the final♚ round last year, and as a result missed out on the automatic promo𝓀tion to the factory team that the title would have brought.

Martin leads the MotoGP c꧟hampionship after six rounds heading into Mugel🌳lo.

He has claimed he will quit Ducati if he doesn’t w𓆉ear red in 2025.

Ducati have🔜 welcomed the high-profile Mಌarquez into their ranks this year, at an independent team.

But Marquez insists he was 🏅a factory-spec bike next year, not the year-old version which he currently rides.

The knock-on effect of this rider decisi♛🐈on also impacts Pramac, as a team.

They are considering whether to stay with Ducati nex🥃t year or go to Yamaha.

As a result, Gresini andജ VR46 are also affected as Ducati’s other satellite teams.

Other key movements in the rider market are also awaiting Duca🌠ti’s decision, to discover which riders or which bikes will become available in 2025.
