Alvaro Bautista: “My decision is not clear”, Ducati “preparing for all scenarios”
Alvꦏaro Bautista: ‘Iꩵ’m not very happy with the feeling I have on the bike… I know [Ducati] are preparing for all possible scenarios.’

Reigning double 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista says his racing future still hangs in the balance anꦫd🅘 that Ducati are “preparing for all possible scenarios”.
The 39-year-old dominated the 2023 season with 27 race wins but then suffered a double blow of winter injuries and, most significantly he feel🍷s, a new WorldSBK combined rider and bike weight limit for 2024.
Starting the season with just one podium at Phillip Island, Bautista took a home race win at Barcelona and a second in Assen t🔯o put theౠ Ducati star into the title lead.
But he was outpaced by BMW’s Toprak Razgatlioglu and rookie team-mate Nicolo Bulega last time at Mi🥃sano, meaning Bautista arrives at Donington Park having s🦩lipped to third in the standings.
“This season we are not in our best moment with the bikඣe, we don’t have the ♉same feedback as last year and we are struggling to get that feeling,” Bautista said.
“Last race in Mis💦ano, we struggled a lot. This year I don’t expect to dominate like last season. Our target is to get back the good feeling with the bike. If I can enjoy the bike and ride how I want, we can b🍃e competitive.
“The target is not to get back in the fight for the title, it’s to get our feeling bac🐟k, have fun, and then we’ll see.”
That lack of feeling and enjoyment l🉐eaves a major questi෴on mark over his future.
“I don’t have any news from Misano,” Bautista said of 2025. “Right now, I don’t feel I’m enjoying the bike like in the 🦋past.
“I know Ducati is speaking to my manager, but ౠmy decision is not clear. At the moment I’m not very happy with the feeling I have on the bike, so let’s see.
“I know they [Ducati] are preparing for all possible scenarios so when I make my decis𒁏ion, they are prepared.
“I know they are speaking, just in case I decide, but the priority is to get the💙 feelin༺g with the bike that would allow me to keep racing.”
Bulega said: “I’m really happy with Alvaro. He’s a great guy and we have a good relationship. I hope to have 𒅌Alvaro next year.”
Ducati is rumoured to have some new parts to tr♐y at Donington Park this weekend.
