Marc Marquez is reportedly just a final signature away from joining Gresini Ducati.
Carlo Merlini, Gresini commercial and marketing director, said to AS: “Of course if Marquez or Joan Mir made themselves available to be signed by the Gresini team, the team would like to have riders like that. And who wouldn't like it?”
Ducati have repeatedly insisted that signing Marquez does not fit their philosophy of betting on younger, up-and-coming riders.The seat that Marquez will reportedly claim currently belongs to Fabio di Giannantonio, whose contract expires at the end of this year, and who has had no clarification on where he’ll be next year.
Marquez failed to end speculation that he will quit Honda when given the chance on Thursday at Misano. “I have a contract for next year with Honda,” was his response to a question about whether he will leave.He fanned the flames of the rumour by posting"things are happening" to social media - a common phrase used when Barcelona Football Club plot major transfers.
