Ducati boss flattered by Marquez’s interest in year-old MotoGP bike
There has been a lot of speculation about Marc Marquez’s future, with questions about whether he will stay with Honda until 2024. If he decides to leave, Gresini is seen as the best option for him, where he would join his brother, Alex Marquez, and race a GP23 next year. Marquez himself has not revealed his next career move, emphasizing that his recent podium finish in the Japanese GP won’t affect his decision. However, Ducati Corse General Manager, Gigi Dall’Igna, suggested that Marquez may have already made up his mind and could be planning to move to Ducati before his Honda contract ends. Dall’Igna expressed pleasure at the idea of Marquez wanting to ride a Ducati, but acknowledged that breaking the contract with Honda would be a complicated process. He also mentioned that Marquez’s potential arrival at Ducati could disrupt the existing team dynamics led by Francesco Bagnaia, but they would need to manage it if it happens.
