Fermin Aldeguer doesn’t believe he needs a factory team to be successful
In 2025, Fermin Aldeguer, MotoGP’s top rookie, believes that moving to a factory team is not crucial for his future success, as he prepares to be in high demand in the 2027 rider market. Aldeguer made an impressive debut in MotoGP by signing a two-year deal directly with Ducati to race for Gresini. He scored his first victory at the Indonesian Grand Prix and won the rookie of the year award. Despite potential factory team offers, Aldeguer values having a works bike more than a factory team transition due to the 850cc rules reset in 2027. Aldeguer acknowledges the pressures that come with a factory team but emphasizes the importance of having the GP27 and manufacturer support for the evolving bikes in the upcoming season. He anticipates Ducati maintaining its dominance in 2025 and remains focused on riding the red bike to success amidst upcoming changes in MotoGP.
