Valentino Rossi has issued his first prediction on how Marc Marquez will fare at Ducati next year.
Marquez’s move from Repsol Honda to Gresini for the 2024 MotoGP season is expected to provide him with the necessary equipment to contend for the championship once again. With six premier class titles, Marquez is only one title behind Rossi’s record. Rossi expressed his anticipation for Marquez’s arrival, acknowledging the challenge that Ducati will face in managing his presence. Marquez’s altercation with Bezzecchi during his final race for Honda led to Bezzecchi labeling him as “the dirtiest rider in MotoGP,” but they will become teammates at Ducati next year. Despite not receiving a factory bike from Ducati, Bezzecchi’s team, VR46, hopes to compete for the championship with the GP23.
