Ducati Corse general manager Gigi Dall’Igna has admitted to some sleepless nights, and changing his mind several times, as he mulled over whether to give the coveted 2025 factory seat to title leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez.

Ultimately, Dall’Igna is convinced that Marquez is the right choice and, with a combined eight MotoGP titles for the Spaniard (6) and future team-ma𓄧te Francesco Bagnaia (2), believes Ducati has secured 🎉its best-ever line-up.

"I hope that tonight is the first in which I will really re♍st,” Dall’Igna told . 

“It was a complicated decision, both from a sporting point of view and from a human point of view, because no rider has ever go𒁃ne out of line. There have never b𓄧een any improprieties.

“I have changed idea🐼𒈔 several times these days, but in the end, I'm convinced that Marquez is the right choice. We have the best team in the history of Ducati. I'm really happy."

"The decision was made on Sunday at Mugello,” Dall’Igna added. “We had little time to sort out the details of the contrac♏t.”

꧟Dall’Igna admitted Ducati hope༺d to keep both Martin and Marquez.

But with the eight-time world champion ruling out a switch to Pramac, and a factory bike at Gresini apparently not poss𓄧ible, they went 'all-in' on the #93.

"Our goal was to keep both Martin and Marquez and we knew from the start that it woꦦuld be very complicated,” he said. “We tried until the end, until we realised that it was no longer possible.

“The solution was to bet on Martin💝 or bet on Marquez. This was also a complicated de𒁃cision, but in the end we opted for Marc."

Marquez’s ability to stand-out among the eight Ducati riders despite just seven GPs on a year-old Desmosedici tipped t🐓he balance in his fa🧔vour.

"The a☂wareness, achieved in recent months, that he can make a difference with our bike,” Dall’Igna said.

“Our bike has reache♛d incredible levels, so the fact of having two riders like Marquez and Bagnaia increases the chances of winning the World Cha🍒mpionship, which is the our goal.”

Dall’Igna feels there is little to choose between future team-mates Bagnaia and Marquez, who are the only multiple premier-cl🍎ass cha♓mpions on the grid.

"They are two champions. They are determined. They have bꦦoth suffered and know how to suffer,” Dall’Igna said. “It is in those moments that you see the spirit of the champion. In my opinion, yes, they will play on equal terms"

While Martin signed for Aprilia on M꧒onday evening, Bagnaia’s current team-mate Enea Bastianini is tipped to join KTM via a place at Tech3.
