Marc Marquez would 'adapt well' to Ducati's factory MotoGP team should he be promoted after this year, according to world champion Francesco Bagnaia.
Last weekend Bagnaia produced one of his best MotoGP race wins to date as he held off Marquez late on in a spectacular battle to take Spanish Grand Prix victory. While Bagnaia has charged to back-to-back MotoGP world titles in 2022 and 2023, having stepped up to the factory Ducati squad in 2021, Marquez had suffered from a series of career-threatening injuries, the decline of Honda’s competitiveness and having to make the jump to satellite squad Gresini Ducati in 2024.
“We are attentive to every detail, we are at a very high level, so Marquez would adapt well to the situation.” Francesco Bagnaia, Ducati Team Photo by: Gold and Goose / Motorsport Images Marquez said earlier this week that a factory Ducati ride was not his only option for 2025, revealing other manufacturers had already started talks with him. “The important thing is that I have it clear and I don't just have one option,” he said.
