Marc Marquez: now Jorge Lorenzo has some doubts

L'former Honda, Yamaha and Ducati centaur Jorge Lorenzo in an interview with Il Giornale è expressed himself on Marc Marquez and his move to Ducati in 2025. "It's a dream team with Bagnaia? It would also have been a very strong duo Martin-Bagnaia. Definitely a more long-lived team. How much longer can Marquez run? Certainly not six years, but for the next two years certainly Ducati could not say no".

On the duel between the Piedmontese rider and the Catalan eight-time world champion, Jorge Lorenzo goes cautious and expresses some doubts about Marquez: "At the level of talent and ambition, Marc could be superior to Bagnaia, but he has already reached the peak, è he is older and has suffered this injury to his arm that somehow limits him. The forces are balanced".

In additionù Bagnaia canò count on more experience on the Desmosedici: "Pecco has a very clean riding style. È a robot. Marc è is also a robot, but the Italian è is younger, still has potential to develop, has more experience with the Ducati and è is in very good shape".

On possible internal contrasts: "Marquez is not è a team man and I think no rider should be a team man. Sports in general è selfish, even more so in an individual sport like motorcycling. All the great champions, Giacomo Agostini, Valentino Rossi, Marquez himself race for themselves. I do not know a champion who is not selfish and competitive. Maybe in soccer è different…".
