Ducati: Marc Marquez-Pecco Bagnaia, Carlo Pernat doesn’t rule out twists and turns

MotoGP manager Carlo Pernat has analyzed without mincing words to the microphones of Mowmag what is happening in the official Ducati team: Marc Marquez dominated and triumphed immediately in his first year, sending Pecco Bagnaia into crisis and, according to Pernat, revolutionizing the entire project of the Italian team.

“What price will Ducati have to pay? Because Ducati, by taking with Marc Marquez, has dismantled a project that started way back. It was the right choice, let it be understood, because whoever wins is always right, and Marquez didn’t win, he just butchered the world championship. So, while reiterating that that was the right choice for the present, today I wonder what will be the price to pay on the future”.

“Jorge Martìn went elsewhere, Marco Bezzecchi went elsewhere, Enea Bastianini went elsewhere and Pecco Bagnaia could go elsewhere if the situation is not resolved sooner rather than later. These are all consequences of Marquez’s choice. Okay, there is Fermin Aldeguer, but as obvious as his talent is he is still a gamble. Alex Marquez? Very good, but he does not convince me all the way”.

On Marquez, Pernat has a doubt: “The injury he got is not a little thing as they describe it to us, and that arm there is the same one that cost him four years of hell. At first they said he should not have surgery, then he had surgery. Now they have announced that he will not even be in Portugal, and I have the impression that even for Valencia there is little hope. It seems like a story we’ve seen before. I don”I don”t know, I wish the best for Marc, but I”m a little afraid.

According to Pernat, twists and turns are also not ruled out for the future of Marc Marquez, who may not be tied to Ducati: “Marquez’ contract with Ducati expires at the end of next year. They will probably try to renew it as early as the beginning of 2026, but do you want Honda not to try to give him a call and maybe entice him, putting him in the mindset of going to end his career by winning for the last time, or the last few times, where he won the first time? Honda could offer him astronomical figures and a new challenge that in his eyes would also be romantic”.
