Franco Morbidelli insists his 2025 Ducati MotoGP package “not fixed yet”
VR46 MotoGP rider Franco Morbidelli expressed uncertainty about the Ducati package he will race with next season, as the specifications are not finalized yet, and he is cautious of the challenges faced by other riders on the GP25. Although Ducati announced adding a fourth GP26 bike to the roster, Morbidelli was initially offered the factory spec bike but decided to stick with the GP25 instead. Despite the GP25’s dominance in the championship with Marc Marquez, riders like Pecco Bagnaia and Fabio Di Giannantonio have encountered difficulties on the bike throughout the season. Morbidelli emphasized the need to test the bike first before making a decision, as he aims to avoid the struggles experienced by his counterparts. VR46 clarified that Morbidelli will have a competitive non-official package with the possibility of using 2024 parts on the GP25, rather than staying on a full GP24 configuration, as engine development will be restricted for 2026.
