Ducati CEO Gigi Dall'Igna recently expressed his thoughts on the impact of losing satellite team Pramac from 2025, while stressing that the arrival of Marc Marquez to the factory team would more than compensate for that departure. Ducati, which currently dominates MotoGP, will see its grid number drop from eight to six next year, due to Pramac's move to Yamaha and the signing of Jorge Martin from Aprilia.
Gigi Dall'Igna admitted that reducing the number of motorcycles would weaken Ducati in terms of data gathering, an aspect in which the Italian brand had excelled by using satellite teams to develop its bike. However, he believes that the presence of world-class riders like Francesco Bagnaia, Marc Marquez which has Fabio DiGiannantonio with a GP25 in the factory team Ducati will be a major asset.
Gigi Dall’Igna: “ we will be weaker overall due to the loss of Pramac, but we will probably have the best riders in Ducati's history »
His assessment is clear: “ we will be weaker overall because of the loss of Pramac, but on the factory team side, we will probably have the best riders in Ducati history »
Despite the challenges posed by the loss of technicians and pilots towards rivals like Yamaha, Aprilia et Honda, Dall'Igna remains confident that the factory team will continue to excel in 2025. Ducati has dominated the championship this season, winning almost every race so far, and Dall'Igna says to himself " really happy and proud of the work accomplished »
One of the potential challenges ahead for Ducati in 2025 will be the management of the relationship between bagnaia et Marquez, two very competitive drivers with strong characters. bagnaia recently stated that the arrival of Marquez in the team could be " super good or a disaster ». Dall'Igna shares this view but remains convinced that the team will be able to manage this internal dynamic successfully: " We are aware of possible tensions, but we are confident that we can manage the situation well so that 2025 is a perfect year for Ducati. » And he finishes: “ In the end, I hope it won't be a disaster but a perfect year for Ducati »
The future of Ducati therefore promises to be both stimulating and complex, with the challenge of maintaining dominance while managing the team's new dynamics and the changing driver market. MotoGP.
