jpnn.com – In the 2025 MotoGP season, the number of Ducati racing bikes on the track will be reduced, from the current eight units to only six bikes.

Currently, there are eight Ducati racing motorcycles used by four different MotoGP teams.

The latest Ducati Desmosedici GP24 racing bike is used by the Ducati factory team and Pramac Racing, while the old bike is used by the Gresini Racing satellite team and the VR46 Racing Team.

“By reducing the number of bikes, we will achieve a deal for our brand. In addition, we will count on three factory bikes and more GP24 bikes,” said Ducati Corse General Manager Gigi Dall’Igna.

According to him, another aspect of having a satellite team is being able to develop racing potential.

“Another important aspect is that having a satellite team can develop the potential of the riders,” explained Gigi Dall’Igna.

Promoting a rider directly to a factory-spec bike will put the rider in a difficult position.

In addition, satellite teams such as VR46 and Gresini Racing are still very important for Ducati.

According to GM Ducati Corse, promoting a rider directly to a factory-spec motorcycle would put the rider in a difficult position.
