Ducati announces Aldeguer signing for 2025, but not where he will race

Ducati has officially announced that it has signed a contract with Moto2 star Fermin Aldeguer for the Spaniard to make his MotoGP debut in 2025.

First reported by Autosport last month, Ducati has agreed terms with Aldeguer to ride factory machinery from next year.

However, while expected to be with Pramac, the official release from Ducati does not explicitly state what team the 18-year-old will be placed at.

Aldeguer has been one of the top paddock prospects for the last couple of years, with a move to MotoGP in 2025 widely expected after he won five grands prix for Speed Up in Moto2 last season on his way to third in the championship.

He has been linked to several MotoGP rides for 2024, including Honda, but elected to remain in Moto2 with Speed Up to see out the rest of his contract.

Autosport understands Aldeguer's Ducati contract - which runs for two years with an option to extend that until at least 2028 - for his MotoGP debut carries with it a base salary of around €300,000.

"I wish to warmly welcome Fermin into the Ducati family and we can't wait to see him already on the Desmosedici GP," Ducati general manager Gigi Dall'Igna said.

"I am very happy about this agreement because Aldeguer is one of the strongest riders of the new generation of the world championship.
