Gresini’s move to capture Marc Marquez is transformational – so why isn’t its livery any different for 2024?
The unveiling of the 2024 Gresini Ducati with Marc Marquez as the rider surprised some with its familiar color scheme from the previous season. This lack of change in sponsors and design suggests that Marquez’s long-term future may not be with the Gresini team. Marquez’s move to Gresini was seen as a temporary solution to escape the difficulties he faced with the Repsol Honda. The commercial director of Gresini, Carlo Merlini, emphasized that the team wanted to maintain its existing sponsors and not make radical changes just because of Marquez’s arrival. Despite not attracting new Marquez-specific sponsors, his presence will still have a positive financial impact for the team.
