Ducati Lenovo Team Manager Davide Tardozzi confirmed that Enea Bastianini will remain with the factory squad in 2024 alongside Francesco Bagnaia. Bastianini missed the majority of the beginning of the 2023 season due to injury and never really was in championship contention due to Bagnaia’s early dominance. As reported by MotoGP.com, Tardozzi said, “We confirmed officially that Enea will be with us next year too. He deserves another year with the factory bike because of what he has done in the past.”
