I am really happy to be able to take this big step starting in 2025 and grateful for the trust Ducati has placed in me. I also want to thank Nadia, Carlo, Michele and the whole Gresini Racing family for opening the door of their team to me at a delicate time in my career. Now we will continue to have fun and give our best in what remains of the'current season, which è my priority" right now" these the first statements of Marc Marquez after his promotion to the official team.
"First of all, I want to thank both Enea Bastianini and Jorge Martín for all the work they have done with us in recent years and I wish them the best for the future. They are really showing this season that they have reached an incredible level and we are sure that they will fight for the world title until the end. Deciding on Bagnaia’s new teammate in the Ducati Lenovo Team was not è easy as we had a list of really strong riders to choose from. Finally, our choice è fell on an unquestionable talent like Marc Márquez. In just a few races, he è managed to adapt perfectly to our Desmosedici GP, and his innate ambition pushes him to continuously grow. In the box we will have two riders who together add up to 11 world titles and being able to count on their experience and maturity; will be invaluable also for our growth" these, instead, the words of Dg Gigi Dall'Igna.
