The rampant form Gresini Ducati has been in since it announced Marc Marquez’s 2024 move should make the rest of the MotoGP paddock very nervous about next year, says Simon Patterson
That Marc Marquez potentially switching to Gresini Racing and riding a Ducati for the 2024 MotoGP season is an exciting prospect. The recent success of both his teammate Alex and replacement rider Fabio Di Giannantonio suggests that a genuine title campaign next season is possible. The three essential elements needed for this success are the bike, the rider, and how well they work together, and it seems that all three can be achieved. The bike and team have shown their capabilities through Di Giannantonio’s recent victories, and Marquez is eager to start riding next season. With the experienced crew chief Frankie Carchedi remaining and Marquez’s determination, winning ways can be restored. While Marquez’s true level has been hidden due to injury complications, he has been outperforming other Honda riders and is confident in his abilities. Although an adaptation process is expected, Marquez’s brother Alex has already successfully transitioned to Gresini Ducati, giving hope for Marc’s potential success.
