Next year, Fermín Aldeguer will be promoted to MotoGP with a satellite team from Ducati. According to the contract, it is not mandatory for him to pilot the latest version of the Desmosedici GP – in this case, the GP25 – and he does not see it as necessary… in 2025.
In an interview with GPOne.com after the German GP, the Spanish rider believes that having the Ducati from this year for his debut season will be more than sufficient: ‘I think having a 2024 bike for the first year is more than enough. I don’t believe Ducati will make major changes considering the potential that this GP24 has brought’.
However, Aldeguer’s opinion changes for 2026, as he emphasized: ‘In 2026 I will have a 100% factory bike. Then they will have to see where to place me’.
The rider’s manager, Héctor Faubel, had recently told Mundo Deportivo that the contract allows Aldeguer the possibility of piloting a GP24 or a GP25 next year, with a binding agreement to provide him with the latest specification bike in 2026.
