Ducati announces Aldeguer signing for 2025, but not where he will race
Ducati has reached an agreement with Fermin Aldeguer to ride factory machinery starting next year, as first reported by Autosport last month. The official release does not specify whether Aldeguer will be placed at Pramac as initially expected. Aldeguer, a top paddock prospect, is set to make his MotoGP debut in 2025 after achieving success in Moto2 last season. His Ducati contract spans two years with an option to extend until at least 2028 and includes a base salary of approximately €300,000. Ducati’s general manager Gigi Dall’Igna expressed excitement about Aldeguer joining the team and highlighted the young rider’s exceptional talent and potential. Aldeguer’s signing follows speculation about Jorge Martin’s future with Pramac, whose contract expires at the end of this season. Ducati has recently extended its deal with Francesco Bagnaia while securing Aldeguer, making them key figures in the team’s future alongside other confirmed riders.
