Ducati questioned if they fear Marc Marquez could take their “secrets”
The six-time MotoGP champion, Marc Marquez, is rumored to be joining Gresini Ducati for the next season, ending his 11-year association with Honda. It is expected that Marquez will sign a one-year contract with Gresini Ducati, which would make him a free agent again in 2025. Ducati’s general manager, Gigi Dall’Igna, acknowledges the risk of Marquez taking away Ducati’s secrets when he eventually leaves, but considers it similar to Johann Zarco going to Honda next year. Marquez is expected to arrive at Gresini without his usual entourage, including chief crew Santi Hernandez. If the move is confirmed, Marquez will have a brand-new support structure at Gresini next year. However, Ducati would still have a strong position to retain the engineers who have closely worked with Marquez until 2024 if he decides to test his value on the market in 2025.
