RiderTua.com – While Pecco Bagnaia has signed a new 2-year contract with Ducati before the 2024 MotoGP season begins, his teammate Enea Bastianini is among the many riders whose future is still up in the air. Bestia is expected to face competition for the coveted seat from 2023 runner-up and initial 2024 standings leader Jorge Martin (Pramac) as well as six-time MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez (Gresini).
Pecco Bagnaia : My Teammate in 2025? I don’t care!
When Pecco Bagnaia was asked, which of the 3 riders (Bastianini, Martin and Marquez) would he choose to be his teammate next season? The rider from Turin, Italy, answered that he was focused on his own work and he didn’t care! They (Ducati) will decide. However, he thought the most deserving person would get the seat.
Regarding the American GP at COTA Texas this weekend, where Pecco will try to make a good execution after failing to lead a year ago, Valentino Rossi’s pupil said that Austin is the track he likes. Last year, he was very competitive. He now felt fine and there was nothing more to say. Pecco made mistakes and crashed during the race, but according to him, by working well, he can be competitive again as usual.
The Austin Circuit is a different track compared to Portimao. So Pecco will see, what he can do and if they can improve on the feeling they had in Portimao, that made it difficult for him in the race, he added.
Francesco Bagnaia slipped to 4th place and is 23 points behind Martin after clashing with Marc Marquez in the closing laps at Portimao. And Bastianini is the only Ducati rider who has previously won at COTA in 2022 with the Gresini team.
