Last box filled
The Risk of the MotoGP market for 2025 is complete, at least as far as the top riders are concerned. After the officialization of Jorge Martin in Aprilia and the consequent informal confirmation of the fact that Marc Marquez will be Pecco Bagnaia’s next teammate in the official Ducati team Carlo Pernat – manager of Enea Bastianini – confirmed to the microphones of Rai Radiowithin the program Cesarini areaThat “Bastianini will ride an official KTM in the 2025 season”.
Ripple effect
This is a scenario that was difficult to predict until Saturday, when it seemed quite obvious that Bastianini would go to Aprilia, inheriting the seat left vacant by Aleix Espargarò. The Marc Marquez’s refusal to accept the move to Pramac However, it triggered a ripple effect which pushed the Borgo Panigale leaders to give priority to the #93 over the Martinator. In turn, Aprilia jumped on the current world championship leader, making Bastianini turn to the second option available to him: KTM.
Hunt for Ducati
At the press conference on Thursday at Mugello Bastianini had admitted that he had his own personal preference among the options available to him but that I don’t want to reveal it, at least for the moment. We will never know if he would have preferred Aprilia or if KTM would have been his first choice anyway, but he will certainly now become one of the points of reference of the Mattighofen house together with the phenomenal Pedro Acosta and Brad Binder. The mission will be to hunt down that Ducati which will still be her home until the end of 2024.
