P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Livio Suppo believes Ducati will be able to manage their star-studded line-up of MotoGP riders as they battle for places ahead of 2025.
The contracts of all Ducati MotoGP riders will end after the 2024 season, so there will be intense competition for a place on the team. Ducati’s bike is considered the best, so riders will want to stay with the team, but other manufacturers like KTM and Aprilia are also growing. Honda and Yamaha have concessions that could give them an advantage. If KTM, Aprilia, Honda, or Yamaha show that they have closed the gap in performance, riders like Jorge Martin could become available. The priority for Ducati will be to sign Francesco Bagnaia, who is a double world champion. However, the decision on his teammate will not be up to Bagnaia. Each factory wants the strongest team possible, so if there are no personality conflicts, a rider cannot object to the team choosing a faster teammate.
