MotoGP: Marc Marquez’s big switch perfect!
The hammer switch is perfect: Marc Marquez will line up for the Ducati factory team from the 2025 MotoGP season! This had already been in the offing after the surprising deal between Jorge Martin, who was unable to reach an agreement with Ducati, and Aprilia.
Now it's official! After just one year, Marc Marquez will leave Ducati's customer team Gresini. The 31-year-old has signed a two-year contract with the Ducati factory team and will be the team-mate of reigning world champion Francesco Bagnaia (ITA).
The Spaniard replaces Italian Enea Bastianini, who has been linked to KTM.
"From the first contact with the Desmosedici GP, I enjoyed riding it and I settled in immediately. From that moment on, I knew that my goal was to continue on this path, to develop further and to join the team where Francesco Bagnaia was world champion two years in a row," said Marquez.
"An undisputed talent"
Ducati Corse boss Luigi Dall'Igna explains that the decision on Bagnaia's new team-mate in the Ducati factory team was "not easy": "Because we had a list of very strong riders to choose from. In the end, our choice fell on Marc Marquez, an undisputed talent."
