Gigi Dall’Igna sees Marquez’s management at Ducati as a ‘challenge’; Admits that the Spanish rider depends only on himself to fight for the title in 2024.

The arrival of Marc Márquez at Ducati brings ‘challenges’, as considered by Gigi Dall’Igna who sees the Spaniard as a strong addition to the Ducati team, with the rider being the most decorated at the helm of a Desmosedici. Furthermore, the executive believes that #93 can even fight for the title, something that will depend ‘only on him’.

The General Director of Ducati Corse spoke about the Spanish icon in a conversation with motorcyclenews.com, and said he believes that he may be fighting for the title next year, something that will depend only on him, recalling the work done by Marco Bezzecchi this year. In addition, the executive has not yet confirmed which bike will be used by the future ex-Honda: ‘This is still being evaluated, whether it is that bike or the bike before the latest evolutions, which is still being analyzed. We do not provide satellite teams with bikes that may have problems. We will soon define which bike they will use. Even Bezzecchi, with a bike from last year, is fighting for the title this year, so I hope Marc can do the same. It will depend on him.’ Dall’Igna then spoke about managing the riders, which will be a real challenge in itself, he considered: – That is one of the concerns, one of the challenges. We have to be good at managing strong riders, with strong personalities. In addition to Marc, there is already a concentration of champions at Ducati. We will add one who may be more complicated, having won so many titles, but it is a job we know how to do.
