RiderTua.com – Fermin Aldeguer secured a 2-year contract with Ducati for the 2025 and 2026 MotoGP World Championship. Gigi Dall’Igna (Ducati racing boss) personally supports the deal, even though the 18 year old young rider has not had a consistent season. However, Fermin successfully won the last 4 races in a row in 2023 in Moto2.
For information, just like Fermin, Fabio Quartararo also impressed for Boscoscuro in 2018. After that the French rider pocketed a MotoGP deal with the Petronas-Yamaha satellite team for 2019.
Gigi Dall’igna: Fermin Aldeguer is One of MotoGP’s Strongest New Generation Riders
The agreement between Fermin Aldeguer and Ducati Corse was officially announced on Monday. However, for now they are still keeping it a secret regarding which team the Spanish rider will strengthen. However, most likely it is the Prima Pramac Racing Team owned by Paolo Campinoti.
This means that behind the scenes, the MotoGP transfer market will become busy even sooner than expected and many of the top riders’ contracts will expire at the end of 2024. Ducati is also expected to reduce the number of Desmosedici bikes on the grid in 2025 due to budget savings.
BTW, starting in 2025 Fermin Aldeguer will meet Pedro Acosta (Red Bull GASGAS-Tech3) again in the MotoGP class, where they once fought on mini bikes in their hometown when they were still at school.
Gigi Dall’Igna has been fine-tuning the details of Aldeguer’s contract with his manager Hector Faubel since last autumn. And the Italian engineer received a lot of praise for his fast work on this set. “I would like to warmly welcome Fermin to Ducati. We can’t wait to see him on our Desmosedici GP. I am happy with this agreement because Aldeguer is one of MotoGP’s strongest new generation riders,” emphasized the 59 year old engineer.
“We have watched Fermin’s development in recent years and he has shown extraordinary speed in 2023. He is still very young with the potential and characteristics to achieve a lot. We will provide all the technical support so that he can continue to develop,” concluded Luigi Dall’ Igna.
