RiderTua.com – Could Pecco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez be the Ducati factory duo in 2025? Marquez is among the 3 main candidates to become the defending champion’s teammate in 2025 in the official team of the manufacturer from Bologna, Italy. To get a factory specification motorbike next season, Baby Alien has started to show its strength.
When Pecco Bagnaia was asked about the prospect of sharing a garage with Marc Marquez, he answered that Marquez comes from Honda with 11 years of experience, so he thinks Marc will bring something extra and Marc will adapt very well. “But currently, according to Pecco, Ducati is at a very high level and Ducati really pays attention to all the details.”
Pecco Bagnaia : Marc Marquez My Teammate? He will Adapt Well
Francesco Bagnaia emerged victorious from the epic battle at the Spanish GP which left tire marks on Marc Marquez’s racing sleeve. Their tense duel in Jerez was the latest chapter in their emerging rivalry.
In Portimao, Bagnaia’s ill-timed attempt to overtake caused both of them to fall into the gravel. Even Ducati officials had to step in to calm any remaining tensions afterwards.
After winning the MotoGP title twice in a row, Pecco Bagnaia has signed a long-term contract as the official star of the Ducati team. But his current teammate Enea Bastianini‘s contract expires this season. However, Bestia’s performance this season is very good, so he is still trying to keep his seat.
Jorge Martin (Pramac) threatens to quit Ducati unless he is promoted to the factory team. But Marc Marquez is an unexpected factor in any discussion. He was the fastest of the 4 racers riding the GP23.
At the Jerez test last Monday, Marquez tested the thumb brake which is more often used by Bagnaia and Martin. If his adaptation from Honda to Ducati continues, he will likely find a place alongside Pecco Bagnaia next year.
