RiderTua.com – Jorge Lorenzo has not ruled out the KTM factory for Marquez’s future, will Marc part ways with Ducati after just one year, after learning Ducati’s secret? .. Which team will Marc Marquez play for in 2025? At the moment it is difficult to say, only two series have passed and the rider market is not yet open in MotoGP. So far, the only steps Ducati has taken are securing Pecco Bagnaia and signing Fermin Aldeguer with Ducati. Considering many contracts expire at the end of this year, we could see a lot of changes for next year.
Changing the team from Repsol Honda to the Gresini team required Marquez to understand again whether he could still compete. The first race showed that with Ducati he has returned to racing at a high level and by gaining more experience with the Desmosedici he will be able to continue fighting for the best positions. He’s done very well, but he has the potential to do even better.
Jorge Lorenzo : Marquez is More Useful for KTM Than Ducati
It looks like Marc made the right choice by leaving HRC to sign a contract with Gresini Racing. By rediscovering his competitiveness and self-confidence, with it it will be easier to find a more important position in which team for 2025. Although the feeling with the current team is very good and his stay there cannot be ruled out, it is clear that the Spaniard hopes to be selected as an official team rider and possibly from the Ducati team itself. Although seeing him in red as Bagnaia’s partner seems difficult, it feels like the choices are limited between Jorge Martin and Enea Bastianini.
Maybe to KTM?
Recently, there has been a lot of talk about KTM, which has the main sponsor, Red Bull, which is also Marquez’s personal sponsor. However, with Pedro Acosta shining at GASGAS Tech3, his promotion alongside Brad Binder, whose contract expires in 2026, seems clear. Furthermore, Stefan Pierer and Pit Beirer in their statements are often a little cold towards the hypothesis of hiring a rider like Marc (of course the pay is higher), and prefer to focus on riders who are trained at KTM’s own ‘academy’.
Aprilia (more focused on riders like Quartararo, Bezzecchi and Bastianini) and Yamaha (unlikely to accept Marc) do not currently seem realistic options, just as a return to Honda seems unlikely. Even if Marc himself doesn’t rule it out, currently the RC213V is the worst bike on the grid and significant changes will be needed to encourage top riders to ride it in 2025.
Jorge Lorenzo: Marc is more suitable for KTM
Jorge Lorenzo on DAZN media does not rule out Marquez joining KTM… “I would be surprised if KTM doesn’t try to sign Marquez for next year. It’s not just about securing the eight-time world champion, but also the Red Bull rider. Brad Binder is a good rider, “But KTM should focus on Marquez to form a Dream Team with Pedro Acosta. That would be logical.”
According to him, there will be efforts made by the Mattighofen family. And on the Duralavita podcast he added further thoughts on the topic.. “I’m sure Marquez is more useful to KTM than Ducati and KTM suits his riding style better than the Desmosedici. Making a third change in three years won’t be a problem, someone like him adapts to fast. I don’t see him at Gresini for another season,” said Lorenzo.
