A historic change in the queen category
The signing of Marc Márquez by Ducati has meant a historic change in the premier category of motorcycling. This decision has consolidated the plan of the islander, who has seen how his path has borne fruit after leaving Honda and moving to a satellite structure like the Gresini, but astride the best bike on the grid, the Desmosedici, supplied by those from Borgo Panigale, to Nadia Padovani’s team.
A return to competitiveness
This move has allowed the eight-time world champion to feel fast again, competitive and aware that the rest of the teams on the grid were going to fight for him. With an ‘outdated’ bike, that is to say, the one from last year, Márquez was the only one able to compete with this year’s Desmosedici, the GP24, placing third in the general classification.
Negotiations and reactions
The signing of Márquez by Ducati was not a simple process. The pilot refused to sign for another satellite team like Pramac, and this raised alarms at Ducati. Faced with the fear of losing the best rider, both in the sporting and media fields, they canceled the verbal contract they had with Jorge Martín and decided on Marc Márquez.
A challenge for the future
The signing of Marc Márquez by Ducati has raised expectations about his future in the category. With the best bike on the grid, Marquez could lift a MotoGP title again in 2025 and match Valentino Rossi. In addition, in 2026, he will have the opportunity to fight for the championship and be above the ’46’, achieving his true goal.
