The group Pierer Mobilitywhich manages both the training considered official, that of the orange motorcycles, as well as the one that is a consequence of its alliance with Tech3, that is, Gas Gas, will change strategy with the intention of attracting already established drivers, such as Enea Bastianini.
In fact, The interest of the business group led by Stefan Pierer in acquiring the two positions that, until now, are attributed to Hervé Poncharal, is not new., owner of the French team. So far, Poncharal has not wanted to get rid of them, although he has had no shortage of offers.
The 26-year-old driver from Rimini will face its fifth season in the heavy motorcycle category in 2025, where he has achieved a total of five victories, 24 podiums and nine pole positions. His best year so far was 2022, in which he finished third, after playing for the title with Pecco Bagnaia and Fabio Quartararo, until the last stretch of the course.
That level of performance earned him make a place for yourself in the official Ducati team, where it has not met the expectations it had set. In this sense, it is expected that the Borgo Panigale company announce in the next few hours the incorporation of Marc Márquez, who will replace the Beast. The officialization by KTM should also take place shortly.
It is still not clear, in any case, who will form a couple with Bastianini, enrolled in the structure that now wears the colors of Gas Gas. The renewal of Pedro Acosta, announced last weekend, during the Italian Grand Prix, will promote the Murcian to the ‘first’ team, along with Brad Binder, who has a contract with the Austrian manufacturer until the end of 2026. It is not clear what will happen to Jack Millercurrent teammate of the South African, whose agreement with the Mattighofen builder expires at the end of this year.
