Kevin Schwantz has warned Pecco Bagnai🐼a that he will be pushed more frequently next season when Marc Marquez becomes his teammate.

Marquez won the battle for th🧜e 2025 factory Ducati seat and will be alongside Bagnaia in an all-star line-up.

But their relationship will come under the microscope, with both riders battl🍰ing for this year’s championship and guaranteed꧂ to fancy the 2025 title too.

“It will definitely be a super-team, tha✅t’s for sure,” said Schwa🥃ntz, the 1993 500cc champion.

“Having both riꦦders in the same garage? The input they will get from ℱboth riders going as fast as they go?

“It will be interesting. It will contiꦗnue 🌄to build Ducati, and Ducati’s advantage.

“They will still have satellite bikes, as well.”

Pramac’s Jorge Martin currently leads the MotoGP championship 🧜ahead of the Indonesia round this weekend.

But Bagnaia, current factory teammate Enea Bastianini, and Gresini’sꩵ Marquez are in the hunt.

“The competition between Marc🧸 and Pecco will continue from this year, for sure, into next season,” Schwantz said.

“The first person ⛎you don’t want to be beaten by i𒉰s your teammate. It’s hard to have a good teammate unless they are nowhere close to beating you!

“Some rivalry in the team, some competition. Enea Bastianini has been good competition for Bagnaia in certain places, but I think 🌼Marquez will push him every weekend.”

Aprilia need ‘the right rider’

Aprilꦉia have been backed by Schwantz to become title contenders with Martin on t🥀heir bike.

Ducati’s decision to overlook Martin for t⛎he 2025 offi▨cial seat means he instead signed for Aprilia, where he will partner Marco Bezzecchi next year.

“Aprilia have done a great job. Jorge Martin on t꧂he bike [in 2025],” Schwantz said.

“Aleix Espargaro has done a good job, he has developed it well. Mave♔rick Vinales is doing a good job.

“When the bike is right, it’s the 🌱best bike out there, by🌳 far!

“We saw at COTA this year, Aprilia was the dominant bike fro🍸m the first practice.

“With the right rider - I’m not﷽ saying Maverick isn’t the right rider - but with somebody like Martin, somebody more motivated, a little faster and more willing to push the envelope, the s🔯ky is the limit for Aprilia.

“They can be a contender for the world ch🀅ampions👍hip.”

‘I see myself’ in Pedro Acosta

Pedro Acosta has been tipped as 📖a future world champion by Schwantz.

The rookie took MotoGP by storm in the earlie💜st weeks of this season.

Acosta immediately earned a promotion ꦛfrom Tech3 to the factory KTM team for ﷽2025, even though his red-hot form has tailed off in recent weeks.

“Pedro has the potential to be a world champion, for sure,” Sch♋wantz said.

“He’s young and spirited. He crashed twice 𒀰in a session buꦛt doesn’t let it bother him.

“I see a lot of myself in Pedro.

“As long as he continues to mature, and gets faster and faster, and hones those race s🙈kills, he will be a world🌄 champion, for sure.”
