P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Ducati regularly downplayed their interest in Marc Marquez over the past couple of years.
In August, Ducati’s sporting director Paolo Ciabatti stated that Marc Marquez did not align with their plans for promoting young riders, but now Ducati’s general manager Gigi Dall’Igna admits that Marquez has always been one of their objectives. Dall’Igna expresses his excitement about having Marquez on board and acknowledges the risk of managing such a high-profile rider. However, the decision to recruit Marquez was made independently by Gresini, not Ducati. The MotoGP world is eagerly awaiting the sight of Marquez riding a Ducati, a scenario that seemed unlikely until recently.
