Marquez’s Ducati MotoGP move now seems in Honda’s hands
It appears that Marc Marquez’s decision about his future in MotoGP is primarily in the hands of Honda, his current team. Final negotiations are expected to take place during the upcoming Japanese Grand Prix, which may determine whether he switches to Gresini Ducati. Speculation has been circulating for weeks that Marquez has been considering riding for a satellite Ducati Desmosedici next year, despite his existing Honda contract. Marquez himself has hinted at the possibility, stating that he has two plans and needs to make a choice by the time of the Indian and Japanese races. Ducati boss Paolo Ciabatti has also confirmed ongoing talks with Marquez, suggesting that there is a chance he may end up riding a Ducati next year. The decision ultimately lies with Marquez and the teams involved, but it seems that Honda has an opportunity to either convince Marquez with concrete promises or enforce his contract to prevent him from leaving.
