It may seem strange, but nothing could be further from the truth, as rider contracts usually have a final date of duration until December 31st.
This means that yes, this last meeting between these three MotoGP riders, precisely the TOP 3 of the championship last season, can take place.
All this despite Jorge Martin having already tested the Aprilia in the first winter test, but the reason is none other than a Ducati event called 'Campioni in festa', which is scheduled for Tuesday December 3rd in the city of Bologna.
The event will start at 21:00 on that day and will also be attended by other riders from the brand:
Enea Bastianini, Fabio Di Giannantonio, Marco Bezzecchi, Alex Marquez, Franco Morbidelli and even the test rider Michele Pirro (who was the first to test radio communication on the track in Barcelona, together with Davide Tardozzi from the pits).
Without a doubt, it promises to be a party as the name of the event suggests, with all the riders from the top category gathered there.
There is even a motto for the event, which is 'The Fantastic Four', referring to the TOP 4 of the championship, which is entirely occupied by Ducati:
Jorge Martin, Pecco Bagnaia, Marc Marquez and Enea Bastianini. The four clear dominators of the championship - although the 'Beast' was a little more irregular than the rest.
For now, it is known that this will be the last time, as Martin has gone to Aprilia and Enea to KTM, while at Ducati Lenovo they will have Bagnaia and Marquez, two tough nuts to crack.
However, there will also be riders from other disciplines such as motocross, with Tony Cairoli, who is always very popular in Italy, accompanied by Alessandro Lupino, and on the MXGP side there will be Jeremy Seewer and Mattia Guadagnini.
Without a doubt, it will be a real party that Ducati wanted to organise for all the work done and the successes achieved during 2024.
