P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Ducati is losing plenty of its MotoGP star power for 2025, with three key riders departing. But its most understated rider – now rewarded with a factory contract – could be perfectly positioned to back up its factory duo
In 2025, Ducati seems to have a strong team with Pecco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez leading the pack. However, losing key riders like Jorge Martin, Marco Bezzecchi, and Enea Bastianini to other teams weakens Ducati’s lineup.
Furthermore, Ducati is also losing their satellite team Pramac to Yamaha, which is a significant blow to their overall strength. Despite these losses, promising talents like Alex Marquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio could potentially step up and fill the void.
Di Giannantonio’s performance has been improving, as evidenced by his strong results in the 2024 season and his current standing as the second-best Ducati rider. This unexpected rise in form might prove to be a saving grace for Ducati amidst the challenges they are facing.
