Ducati CEO admits “interest” in signing Marc Marquez
There has been a lot of speculation surrounding Marquez’s future in the San Marino MotoGP, with initial reports linking him to joining Gresini Ducati in 2024. However, the possibility of this happening has since cooled down. While Ducati’s sporting director Paolo Ciabatti downplayed the idea of Marquez joining Ducati due to their focus on young and up-and-coming riders, Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali expressed his interest in Marquez joining the Italian manufacturer. Domenicali stated that they are interested in the matter and view it with sympathy, particularly because their bikes perform well. Gresini, being an independent team, would not need Ducati’s permission to select Marquez as their rider. Ultimately, Marquez’s decision may be influenced by the outcome of his tests for Honda at Misano, which will provide key information on their plans for 2024.
