Ducati has put Fermin Aldeguer at Gresini Racing in a multi-year deal from 2025 MotoGP season, with the team to continue with the manufacturer too.
Fermin Aldeguer is the new standard-bearer of Gresini Racing MotoGP and will be for the next two seasons with the Faenza-based team that has also defined the extension of the collaboration with Ducati for the 2026 season.
An increasingly close collaboration between Gresini Racing and Ducati Corse that in the recent past has brought Bastianini and soon Marc Marquez to dye themselves red and has allowed Di Giannantonio to win his first race aboard the Desmosedici GP.
Now it will be up to Fermin Aldeguer, a great protagonist of the last two Moto2 seasons, to take center stage in the garage of the team led by Nadia Padovani, alongside Alex Marquez, already confirmed for 2025 and 2026. All eyes (blue) on the Valencia test on November 19th…
FERMIN ALDEGUER – GRESINI RACING MOTOGP RIDER: “I am very happy to join the Gresini family, it is an incredible opportunity to be able to debut in MotoGP with this fantastic team in which great riders have raced and with the best bike on the grid. I hope to adapt quickly to the GP24, we will have to take it one step at a time, but there is a great desire to be already in Valencia for the first tests next year. Thanks to Nadia and Gigi for their trust, it will be repaid.”
NADIA PADOVANI GRESINI – TEAM OWNER GRESINI RACING: “Family is the concept on which our team is based and in general our history in the world championship. It is a great pleasure for us to welcome one of the most promising youngsters in the Championship and it will be our job to protect him and help him grow until the results that have always distinguished us. He will be with us for the next two seasons and Ducati will also remain in our garage at least until 2026. So we are doubly happy, welcome Fermin!”
LUIGI DALL’IGNA – GENERAL MANAGER OF DUCATI CORSE: “We are really happy to be able to continue our collaboration with the Gresini family until 2026. The team led by Nadia has achieved important goals in recent years, demonstrating all its strength and professionalism. Team Gresini Racing has also managed to bring success to several riders, some very young. For this reason, we are sure it is the ideal structure to welcome Fermín Aldeguer and accompany him in his MotoGP debut. I would like to thank Nadia and the entire Gresini family once again. We can’t wait to experience other important emotions together”.
