VR46 tipped to win battle for the final GP25 - but who will ride it?
One factory-spec Ducati is up for grabs in 2025

Valentino Rossi’s VR46 MotoGP team wi𓂃ll reportedly inherit the final factory-spec Ducati next year.
The departure of Pramac, who will become a Yamaha satellite team next y𝔉ear, will force Ducati 🐓into a redistribution of machinery.
Gresini or VR46, as the remaining satellite teams, were in the mix to upgrade 𝕴from year-old bikes to latest-spec.
But Ducati boss Gigi Dall’Igna has since confirmed the intention is to use only three factory bikes in 2025 - oneꦺ each for Pecco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez in the official team, plus one more.
VR46 will be given the thi꧟rd and final GP25, report.
It means one VR46 rider ꦛwill ride upgraded machinery to his teammate.
Fabio di Giannantonio’s future at stake?
The question immediately becomes: w𝕴h🐎ich rider stands to profit from riding the best bike in MotoGP?
VR46 have two unconfirmed seats in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2025 MotoGP rider line-up, but have lost Marco Bezzecchi to Aprilia.
The team have a clause in Fabio di Giannantonio’s contract whi꧃ch would allow them to extend his stay in their garage, Gazzetta report.
Di🎉 Giannantonio has admitted he also has an offer from Pramac, who w🎃ill ride Yamahas next year.
Fabio Quartararo has named Di Giannantonio as his prefer𒐪red pick to join Yamaha's new project.
But giving Di Giannantonio the third GP25 next year could allow VR46 to keep their ꦅprized asset.
The knock♉-on-effect would be Franco Morbidelli joining VR46 on a year-old bike, and Fermin Aldeguer joining Gresini alongside Alex Marquez, Gazzetta report.
