Marc Marquez in Ducati, Marco Melandri skeptical

The'former MotoGp centaur Marco Melandri in an interview with Mowmag had his say on the possible transfer of Marc Marquez to the Ducati Gresini team: "Marquez left because’è gone becauseé by now he could not do any more, but I can not even think of a reason why he could go to Ducati".

" Dorna already has a problem: Ducati dominates the world championship. I think all this talk is actuallyà a way to steer the spectatorsà gaze away from reality. Dorna has è found itself with eight Ducatis on the track and now it has to manage this situation, only then will it deal with the others. Now it needs alternatives: today, the’only one would be Marc Marquez on a KTM, becauseé the Japanese are now too far behind".

According to 'Macio', the right choice would be the Austrian team: "Becauseé if Marquez went to KTM he could win: they have a good bike, but so far they didn“t have the riders“suitable”. It would also involve Red Bull. And then it would bring incredible interest back to the championship, in my opinion".

"In Ducati, in my opinion, Marc thinks he can come back and win, but in a satellite team they will never let him. Especially after what happened with Pedrosa: now everyone says that the level è low. In my opinion it è not. Forè if Marquez were to go to Gresini, to give the right value to the current level, he would have to be behind Bagnaia. At this point, what would be the point of keeping Marquez, just for one year, in a satellite team, with the risk of losing him later? What if he wins in Ducati instead? In my opinion, these rumors are a way for Marc and Ktm to leverage Dorna".
