Ducati’s unresolved asset bullishly claims “by contract” he must ride a GP26
New details shared by Fermin Aldeguer's manager hint at i🍸nteresting next moves

Fermin Aldeguer’s precise future is unresolved, even though he is assured of a step up into MotoGP on a Ducati next year.
However, the exact tea🐽m that the teenager from Moto2 will join is unconfirmed.
Pramac’s pending decis𒉰ion about whether to stay with Ducati (in possession of factory-spec machinery) or quit and go to Yamaha means that Aldeguer cannot be placed yet.
Gresini a🌟nd VR46 are sure to 🎀stick with Ducati next year.
However, Aldeguer’s manager has confidently pointed out that they have already signed a contract that entitles them to 📖certain treatment by Ducati.
“We have sign💜ed a 2+2 contrac💟t,” Hector Faubel told .
“We have two s🍌afe years and another two more♛ conditional on objectives.
“In my opinion, I th♚ink they are quite affordable because of how they can do it in MotoGP.
“By contract, the first꧅ year he can rꦡide a Desmosedici GP24 or a GP25. There, Ducati will decide.
“Tꦡhe second year he will ta💞ke the GP26 no matter what.”
That means that, next season for his rookie year in the premier 📖class, Aldeguer could join Gresini or VR46 on y𝕴ear-old machinery.
The intrigue🌜 surrounds the following year when Aldeguer’s manager insist they are guaranteed a factory-spec bike.
Factory riders Marc Marq🌠uez and Pecco Bagnaia are already contracted to ride GP26s too.
What if Pramac don't stay with Ducati?
For now, attention is on whic🐻h team Aldeguꦚer will join next season.
“We still don't know which te𒊎am he will ride for,” Faubel said.
“But Ducati has told us to be very calm.
“They have told us that t🧸hey havဣe opted for him and that we are from the house.”
Is it possible that Ducati, if they loseꦆ their Pramac team to Yamaha, could try to delay Aldeguer’s arrival into MotoGP?
“It has been published that, if Ducati tells ওhim that he will not get on the bike next ye🐽ar, he would receive compensation of 300,000 euros,” Faubel said.
“It is a lie. I can't say the numb꧃er, but it is much hꦗigher.”
Faubel added about Aldeguer: “He feels ready to🌠 go up, he has a lot of confidence.”
Aldeguer is sixth in the Moto2 standings.
