For the 2023 and 2024 seasons, Ducati has deployed eight bikes in MotoGP, four of which are current-year specifications. Pramac Racing ended their 19-year collaboration with Ducati in favor of a new partnership with Yamaha starting in 2025. As a result, Ducati will have six bikes on the grid, while KTM, Honda, Aprilia, and Yamaha each have four bikes available. Ducati plans to have three GP25 bikes and three GP24 bikes next year, aiming for a balanced lineup. Discussions suggest VR46 Ducati may receive factory support in the future following Pramac’s deal. Fabio Di Giannantonio is likely to remain with Ducati, but he has options with other teams for 2025. Despite the uncertainty, Di Giannantonio has had an impressive season and Ducati hopes to continue the successful partnership.
