RiderTua.com – The MotoGP rider market this season is waiting for Marc Marquez’s decision to roll. The MotoGP world champion from Cervera could land at the factory Ducati team and join Pecco Bagnaia starting in 2025. Or is KTM opening the door wide for him? it will be very interesting to wait, especially since Marc is said to have not shown all his fangs yet…
After the first round of the MotoGP championship was held, behind the scenes, the rider market started to get busy. Enea Bastianini failed in his convincing attempt to renew his contract with Lenovo Ducati and Jorge Martin’s promotion to the factory team does not seem so clear. Borgo Panigale leaders say that a decision will not be made before the start of the summer, a wait that may be unpleasant for Martinator and his manager Albert Valera.
Marc Marquez Could Be Pecco’s Partner at Lenovo.. 93% Possible!
Borgo Panigale, the famous bike manufacturer that is the basis for the Ducati team in MotoGP, has done the first transfer step correctly. They have reaffirmed their confidence in Pecco Bagnaia even before the start of the new MotoGP season.
The question is, who will be your next teammate?
One of the questions that arises is who will be Bagnaia’s teammate in the next Ducati team. In principle, this second round is between two young riders, namely Enea Bastianini and Jorge Martin. These two riders have shown great potential, and one of them was even able to become runner up last year.
Marc Marquez’s Opportunity to Join the Ducati Team
However, it does not rule out the possibility that Marc Marquez could also be one of the candidates for this highly coveted position. Paolo Ciabatti, Ducati Sports Director, revealed that they have not closed the door for Marquez to join their team.
“Of course, Marquez can also come in and fight as a tandem with Bagnaia, but we are not in a rush to make this decision. I don’t know when this decision will be made. Marquez is a great champion,” said Ciabatti.
Marquez, a former Repsol Honda rider who has joined Ducati is currently still in the adaptation stage… Whether Marquez will join the Ducati team or not, this decision will certainly be of concern to MotoGP fans. Marquez joining the Ducati team will be an interesting combination and could produce fierce competition on the race track.
However, this decision cannot be taken easily. Ducati must consider various factors, including Marquez’s ability to adapt to the characteristics of Ducati bikes.
Apart from that, Ducati must also consider harmonization between riders and teams. A solid team that supports each other is very important to achieve success in MotoGP. Will he be able to harmonize with their main driver Pecco Bagnaia…
As a team that has a history of success in MotoGP, Ducati certainly does not want to take big risks with their decision. They will consider carefully before making a final decision.
For MotoGP fans, we will have to wait and see how this situation develops. Whatever decision the Ducati team takes, it will definitely be worth the wait for MotoGP fans. And Ducati will be even further ahead if Marc joins the official team.
