Welcome to the Future: Ducati Signs Rising Star Fermin Aldeguer for MotoGP Debut
Kosport Magazine is excited to announce that 18-year-old Fermin Aldeguer has officially signed with Ducati for his MotoGP debut in 2024. This highly anticipated move has been in the works for some time now, with Aldeguer being one of the most talked about young riders in the paddock.
The Spanish rider has been making waves in the Moto2 class, winning five grands prix for Speed Up last season and finishing third in the championship. His talent and potential have not gone unnoticed, with many predicting a move to MotoGP in the near future.
While it was initially expected that Aldeguer would join the Pramac team, the official announcement from Ducati did not specify which team he will be placed at. However, one thing is for sure – Aldeguer will be riding on factory machinery.
This signing is a major milestone for Aldeguer, who has been linked to several MotoGP rides for 2024, including Honda. However, he chose to remain in Moto2 with Speed Up to see out the rest of his contract. And now, with a two-year contract with Ducati and an option to extend until at least 2028, Aldeguer’s future in MotoGP is looking bright.
“I wish to warmly welcome Fermin into the Ducati family and we can’t wait to see him already on the Desmosedici GP,” said Ducati general manager Gigi Dall’Igna. “He is a very young guy with fantastic potential and characteristics to do well and we will give him all the technical support to make him grow.”
Aldeguer’s signing also comes on the heels of Pramac team boss Gino Borsoi’s comments that Jorge Martin’s time with the team “has come to a bit of an end.” Martin’s contract with Pramac ends this season, and he has expressed his desire to move to a factory team. However, with Aldeguer now joining Ducati, it seems that Martin’s hopes of a promotion have been dashed.
But Aldeguer’s signing is not the only exciting news coming out of Ducati. Just last week, they also announced a contract extension with double world champion Francesco Bagnaia through 2026. With these two talented riders on their roster, Ducati is setting themselves up for a strong future in MotoGP.
As we eagerly await Aldeguer’s debut in MotoGP, let’s not forget about the other riders who have secured their spots for the upcoming seasons. Only Honda’s Luca Marini and LCR counterpart Johann Zarco, and KTM’s Brad Binder have firm deals in place beyond this season. It’s shaping up to be an exciting and competitive future for MotoGP.
In conclusion, Kosport Magazine is thrilled to see Fermin Aldeguer join the ranks of MotoGP and we can’t wait to see him in action on the Desmosedici GP. With his incredible speed and potential, we have no doubt that he will make a strong impact in the world championship. Stay tuned for more updates on Aldeguer and all things MotoGP.
