Rinaldi “like a son but racing is racing”, Ducati close to a decision
According to Serafino Foti, Michael Ruben Rinaldi is highly valued by Ducati and they want him to continue with them. However, it seems unlikely as changes are expected alongside world champion Alvaro Bautista. Nicolo Bulega is the top choice to join Bautista at Aruba.it Ducati, while Axel Bassani and Danilo Petrucci are expected to remain at Motocorsa and Barni Ducati respectively. Andrea Iannone and Sam Lowes are also being considered as potential additions to the Ducati team. The final decision on the line-up will be made in the coming days, with an announcement planned for the Magny-Cours event. Additionally, Ducati is discussing options for their Supersport line-up and aims to reach a decision within the next month.
