Ducati have again confirmed that they wish to keep hold of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista in the factory team for the 2025 WorldSBK campaign.

Bautista is still undecided on 🔯whether to stay or possibly retire, but Ducati have r𝄹eportedly made the Spaniard an offer.

And speaking at Mo🦋st on Friday, Marco Zambenedetti, Technical Coordinator at Ducati Corse was keen to point out that keeping the Spaniard is their main aim.

Zambenedetti said: "Alvaro is for sure our first choice, we have won a lot with him,🔯 and we are giving him the maximum support that we can. 

"We haven’t stopped working on any area of the bike, it is a continuous improvement, but the most important thing is the dynamics of the bike, and we a✨re working together to try and give him our best. 

"For sure others are most competitive this year, making it mo💯re difficult but we will try until the end.” 

Bautista's future is direc🗹tly linked to the likes of Danilo Petrucci and Andrea Iannone, both of whom want a full factory bike next season.

Iannone has in particular ♌mad🍷e it clear that joining a factory team is his aim.

A hot topic again in the Czech Republic, Iannone's Tea♛m Manager at GoEleven Ducati, Denis Sacchetti said: “What I can say is that we are talking with him about our future. 

"Every rider wants to go in a factory team, and I think that is normal and that Andrea deserves an opportunity in a factory team but that is not by us but by Du𒐪cati and Bautista because I think until Bautista makes a decision we have to wait. 

"Maybe he can stay with us, maybe not, we will see. There is an agreemeꩲnt with him about many things that I don’t want to spe♓ak about. 

"It is normal that he would like to ride a facto𒁃ry bike.”
