Ducati MotoGP chief designer Gigi Dall’Igna has predicted how big a step the firm’s 2025 bike will be over its dominant 2024 machine, what he wants to improve and what worries him
Ducati MotoGP chief designer Gigi Dall’Igna acknowledged that the 2025 Desmosedici bike is not expected to bring as significant a performance leap compared to the previous year’s model. He indicated that the current GP24’s level is already high, and introducing substantial differences in the new bike might entail unnecessary risks at this stage. Dall’Igna emphasized the need to enhance the speed on straights and in the mid-corner for the upcoming season. Despite Ducati’s class-leading position in terms of tire wear, improvements in this area are also being considered for the GP25. The designer highlighted the importance of braking stability for overtaking, which is a key focus in the development of the new bike. Ducati’s strong data-sharing policy and their MotoGP dominance, despite losing some key riders for the 2025 season, remain top concerns for Dall’Igna.
