Ducati have admitted Marc Marquez will likely give them ‘additional headaches’ after joining their already star-studded MotoGP line-up.
Ducati, winners of the last two world championships with Francesco Bagnaia, have strengthened their already impressive line-up with the addition of Marc Marquez. Marquez made a statement during testing at Valencia and is likely to be a title contender in 2024 alongside Bagnaia, Martin, and Bezzecchi. Managing the situation with multiple talented riders will be a challenge, but Ducati believes they can handle it by sharing data among teams. Sporting director Paolo Ciabatti emphasized fair competition and stated that team orders are not their policy. Despite the speculation of losing his seat to Martin, Ducati has backed Enea Bastianini to show his best form in 2024, considering his recovery from serious injuries and the need to adapt to a new bike and working environment.
