In the previous article, you all saw that entering the Mugello Grand Prix, Marc Marquez had given an open statement that attracted the attention of the media and fans. In a tense yet calm atmosphere, Márquez discussed a series of important topics that provided deep insight into his mental state and strategy at this stage of the season. Among Marc Marquez’s most prominent reflections on Thursday Mugello is his assessment of the scenario options available for his future at the moment, adapting to Ducati, as well as his focus on remaining calm and consistent at important moments in the championship and the reasons why Pramac is already out of his options for 2025
Marc Marquez opened his press conference firmly and confidently to highlight the importance of avoiding speculation and remaining calm amidst the Ducati Corse Final decision. “[I]m not nervous at all. Seriously, yes, because it must be answered firmly. Ultimately they try to speculate as little as possible or give fewer reasons for the speculation. But it’s not tense at all, because my mind is calm and I’m having fun. We are coming from a very good weekend and most importantly, I am in a happy situation because there are many options.”
Marc Márquez has made his focus and determination clear regarding his future in MotoGP. “I am a determined person, with clear ideas and I will not move from one satellite team to another. Of course, the choice to go to Gresini last year and I felt very good and very comfortable and the results are already out, it was a very critical situation in my sporting career, but now I feel competitive and my goal is to try to get to the Factory Team or if no, then the more choices you have and the more resources that have manufacturer’s equipment or motorbike from the previous year, all this helps. I’ve moved people who need to know this. “
So it’s clear that the reason Marc excluded Pramac Racing from his 2025 options was because moving from one satellite team to another was not the main idea from the start. Logically, Marc, who is already in his 30s, will feel that there will be many potential problems if he has to enter a new satellite team, with a new atmosphere, and perhaps a new crew. . If you can keep using the GP25 next year, it’s better to stay with your younger brother in Gresini next year. . Or another factory team?
Regarding Ducati’s decision, at the Press Conference Marc Marquez said that he had a time limit to wait for this decision but refused to share when that time limit was. Instead of refusing, Marc explained his reasons for this, “Yes, I have a time limit. I can’t say what the limit is, but I have a time limit because of another thing, namely sponsors, which you have to know.
“Because as you know, large companies close their budgets next month for the next two years. So yeah this is something I need. I don’t want to have a time limit, but I’m forced to have a time limit to make a decision because if you choose one team or another, some of my main sponsors can’t work on that team.” Marc clearly refers to Red Bull and Ducati Lenovo.
