Ducati MotoGP boss Dall’Igna confirms Honda approach for 2024
Honda announced on Wednesday that they would be parting ways with Marc Marquez at the end of the current season, one year before his contract expires. It is rumored that Marquez will move to Gresini next season and ride a year-old Ducati bike. Honda had hoped to recruit Ducati’s technical director, Gigi Dall’Igna, for 2024 to convince Marquez to stay, but Dall’Igna has decided to stay at Ducati. Dall’Igna supports the decision for Marquez to join Gresini, but clarifies that it was not his idea. Ducati will have a strong lineup of riders next year, with Marquez joining Bagnaia, Martin, and Bezzecchi, which could potentially cause some instability, but Dall’Igna believes they can handle it. Overall, Marquez’s departure is the least of Honda’s MotoGP problems.
