The racer line-up for the Ducati factory team for the 2025 season has only been 50% confirmed with the certainty of Pecco Bagnaia there, meanwhile there are several months ahead for the team from Borgo Panigale to determine who Pecco’s partner will be. Meanwhile, the candidates are already quite lined up: Enea Bastianini, Jorge Martin and Marc Marquez. But did you know, friends, that the first 3 series of the 2024 MotoGP are enough to convince Gigi Dall’Igna that he wants Marc Marquez to wear the red Ducati next year and team up with the racer he clashed with in Portimao – Pecco Bagnaia.
This issue arose from the password leak of someone within the Lenovo Ducati team owned by journalist Mat Oxley. In his latest podcast, Mat is very confident that “We have spies in every manufacturer, and We have ‘solid gold’ level proof from our insiders at Ducati that Gigi Dall’Igna wants Marc Marquez for next year,”
Marc Marquez does seem to have dropped in class from initially racing with Repsol Honda to Gresini this year, but he doesn’t seem to care about that “He probably already has a hundred million Euros in his bank account,” And the question is why did he choose Marc Marquez?
Continuing in his broadcast, Mat explains based on analysis that Marc Marquez currently chooses to race with the level C team from Ducati, namely Gresini Racing [level A = Lenovo Ducati and level B = Pramac Racing) but he has proven in the first three races that he has succeeded in placing himself in the racer market, he managed to prove himself that he can still win, he still has the hunger to win.
Corroborating the information obtained by Mat, his broadcast partner, Peter Bom, added that Gigi Dall’Igna had to do something for Marc, because Marc Marquez had proven that he was still fast, and he gave a lot of feedback to Ducati. Even if you don’t like Marc joining the team, it might be better to put him in the team. Because Marc could be a problem for the Ducati factory if he is in another team next year.
One strong statement that came out of Peter Bom was “I think Gigi [Dall’Igna] likes him. They already know each other. Both have no option but to win, win and win.”
However, what might be an obstacle is something that Ducati insiders also informed Mat Oxley about, namely that Pecco Bagnaia doesn’t like Marc Marquez as his team-mate. However, Gigi usually has a strong position and position over his racers, so if Pecco insists that he doesn’t like Marc, he will be in the same box as him, but if Gigi wants it. So in 2025 Pecco must be prepared because Marc will be present at his side of the pit box.
