P1racenews AI automatic summary:
This time next year, MotoGP could again be awaiting Marc Marquez’s next big decision.
In the upcoming season, he will join Gresini Ducati on a one-year contract, marking his decision to leave Honda. This could potentially lead to a MotoGP musical chairs scenario, as most riders’ contracts will expire in 2025 and teams will have available machinery. Ducati, however, claims to not have planned too far ahead and states that Marquez’s move to Gresini was a choice made by the team. They acknowledge the potential value of an eight-time world champion like Marquez, but emphasize that the current deal is only for one year with no further options. The possibility of Marquez being integrated into Ducati’s factory team might arise if he performs well on the Desmosedici, but other manufacturers, such as KTM, may also show interest. Additionally, the option to return to Honda could come into play if they make substantial progress during his one-year absence.
