RiderTua.com – Since moving to Ducati, Marc Marquez has shown speed in the front row from the start, but things like this make everyone curious about Marquez’s movements from next season onwards… where will he be. The contract between Marquez and Gresini is only valid for one year this year, and negotiations will have to start all over again next season.
Currently there are several rumors stating Marquez’s transfer destination, the first of which is the Ducati manufacturer. One thing is sitting next to the champion Pecco as his teammate. All that remains is to extend the current contract with Gresini, but in this case the condition is the supply of the latest factory spec engine (GP25, the same as that used by Pecco).
Marc Marquez Returning to Honda?
Apart from that, with KTM which has been widely rumored since last year, but currently KTM already has Binder from the factory and Acosta from the satellite (GASGAS) who are under contract for next season and promoted to the official team, but adding that Marquez will need a drastic task to reduce Binder to satellite, but one wonders if KTM will go that far for Marquez?
There is a small possibility that Aprilia will be an option in terms of the competitiveness of its engine, but there are rumors that Aprilia could be an option if it can provide the compensation that Marquez is asking for after he recovers.
When Marquez left Honda last year, he hinted that he might make a comeback, but given Honda’s current situation, that is no longer possible. Unless the Honda engine proves to have a competitive edge, it is unlikely that Marquez will return to Honda and undergo that journey through hell again. Additionally, he will never be at Yamaha (Yamaha has stated in the past that they will not include members of the Marquez family in their team), so Yamaha is not on his list.
According to Marc, the faster someone goes on the track, the more possibilities (team doors) open. So my goal is to go faster and get more opportunities. Yamaha has Fabio, KTM has Binder, Aprilia has Aleix or Maverick, and currently one of the factory seats for each manufacturer has been filled with a contract with a top rider, but there is still one more remaining. That’s why I will listen to all voices, regardless of manufacturer,” said Marquez.
As Marquez said, the faster a rider goes, the more options they have, meaning their wishes will come true in terms of engines, teams and good salaries.
In the next few races, if Marquez achieves at least one victory and proves capable of bouncing back, then all manufacturers will have no choice but to be wary of Marquez’s presence, and when will this happen? Depending on Marquez’s moves, it will have a big impact on other seats in MotoGP, so the next month or so will be a real battle… when it comes to next year’s rider market.
