Marc Marquez clearly said that if the remaining seats for the 2025 Factory Ducati Team fell into the hands of Jorge Martin, then Pramac racing with Ducati would not be an option that he would choose even though he was using the latest spec motorbike. Marc’s statement was clearly surprising and sparked speculation that Pramac had lost their bargaining power to Ducati, who initially thought they would use Marc Marquez’s name to negotiate. After Marc said that at Thursday’s Mugello, there was a lot of speculation that Pramac would end up being a Satellite team as well as a Yamaha Junior Team next year. However . . .
Marc Marquez’s reason was very simple at that time, because he didn’t want to just move from the Ducati Satellite Team to another Ducati Satellite Team, especially if the motorbike support was similar. However, the day after Marc said this, precisely on Friday, the Mugello GP. Pramac Racing team manager Gino Borsio said something no less interesting to DAZN which contained a signal that Pramac would still be a Ducati Satellite Team with the same privileges as in 2024, although it was clear An official announcement is still missing.
“We have a lot of respect for the eight-time world champions, I can only say that Pramac is a great team, we are a great family and every year we do an even better job.
In 2023 we make history and win the team championship. , the first time we did it as a privateer, we fought for the World Title and this year Jorge Martín leads the championship and we have a new opportunity. Every time we go out on the track, we are a better team. “We (will) have two official (Manufacturer Spec) Ducati (Motorbikes) and next year we will continue the same thing,”
Motorsport Spain wrote at the end of its article (without Quote) that he (Borsoi) closed the door to any concession to hand over one of Pramac’s 2025 GP motorbikes to Marc Márquez. . This is fierce and gives the impression that Pramac was quite ‘offended’ by Marc’s remarks on Thursday. . We are still investigating how Borsoi talks about blocking Marc Marquez. . However, this Silly Season seems to be getting crazier as time goes on.
It seems like all parties are starting to try to play their cards. Marc Marquez issued a card on Thursday, Pramac’s turn to issue a card too. If it’s true, Pramac closes the door for Marc. . Will this make Ducati prepare more than 4 GP25 units next year? . or Should Ducati give up their assets, will Marc Marquez move and use his talents at another manufacturer such as Aprilia or KTM?
