First images of Marc Marquez on Ducati MotoGP bike revealed
Eight-time world champion Marc Marquez made his MotoGP debut with the factory Honda team in 2012, following his success in Moto2. He enjoyed great success with Honda, winning 59 races and six world titles between 2013 and 2019. However, his form suffered after a serious arm injury in 2020 and Honda’s lack of competitiveness. In 2023, Marquez had a difficult season with only one podium finish and a record-breaking number of crashes. He decided to leave Honda and signed with Gresini to ride a year-old Ducati for the 2024 season. Marquez rode the Gresini Ducati at the post-season test in Valencia, but due to his contractual situation, he will not speak to the media after the test. He will bring only one member of his Honda crew to Gresini and will work with a new crew chief. The Valencia test will also see the debut of Luca Marini with Honda, Zarco’s return to Honda, and Morbidelli’s switch to Pramac Ducati.
