Ducati's MotoGP Juggling Act: VR46 & Gresini

0:00On April 4th, Ducati's been stuck referring fights between its satellite teams, VR-46 and Grisini, by parents with bickering kids. Ferman Aldeguerr, Grisini's hot rookie from this year, switching to VR-46 starting in 2027, Ducati pushed the move despite Aldeguerr wanting to stay put. VR-46 snagged factory back status after Pramok jumped to Yamaha, locking in top bikes and support through 2029. That edges them ahead of other Ducati squads, even if results have been mixed lately, Alex Marquez crushed at Grisini with three wins last season. While VR-46 riders lagged behind, Grisini bosses were furious, nearly scrapping their Ducati deal that ends this year. Losing Aldeguerr hurts bad, especially with Alex Marquez already headed to KTM, leaving them scrambling for replacements amid the team tension. Now Grisini's eyeing new pass, chatting with Honda and patching old beef with Aprilia, but Ducati looks like the smarts day.

1:00They've locked in Moto 2-star Danny Hogato for one seat, and Ania Bastionini could return for the other if KTM lets them go. As Moto GP gears up for 2027 regs, Ducati's juggling act keeps everyone guessing on who's getting the best shots at glory. This has been F1 News Today, powered by AI.
