Briefly, the option was reportedly on the table for Marc Marquez to join Pramac Ducati in 2024.
The eight-time world champion, Marc Marquez, decided to leave Honda and search for the best possible bike during the Sachsenring and Assen rounds, according to Speedweek report. This decision came during the most disastrous period of what has been an awful year for him. Ducati had initially postponed a contract extension for Johann Zarco at Pramac in August, keeping a potential spot for Marquez. However, there were two reasons why Marquez joining Pramac was not feasible: Pramac’s sponsor, Prima, wanted an Italian rider, and Ducati didn’t want to disrupt their group of talented young riders. Instead, Marquez will join Gresini next year, with Ducati planning to keep him for the long-term.
