Ducati will have Quartararo, Jorge Martín, Marc Márquez, and [Enea] Bastianini – Jorge Lorenzo

Fabio Quartararo is at the end of his contract with Monster Energy Yamaha in MotoGP. Since making his debut in the premier class in 2019, he has only ridden bikes from the Iwata manufacturer – first in the satellite team and, since 2021, in the factory team with which he has already been crowned champion.

The deficiencies of the bike have become more pronounced in recent years, so the rider and Yamaha are unable to compete for top positions with the European manufacturers. This year, a new concessions system was introduced, which puts Yamaha and Honda in a privileged position to develop their respective bikes.

However, so far the results are not yet visible. It is expected that the rider market will move very soon, so Quartararo may be forced to make a decision about the future before Yamaha shows signs of improvement. And, for that reason, he may end up “knocking on the door” of other manufacturers.

Jorge Lorenzo believes that the Frenchman could become one of the options for Ducati, as he revealed on DAZN: ‘Ducati will have Quartararo, Jorge Martín, Marc Márquez and [Enea] Bastianini. A spectacular dilemma is coming’.

At this moment, Ducati already has contracts with two riders – Francesco Bagnaia, who renewed with the factory team until 2026; and Fermín Aldeguer, who signed a two-year contract with two more years as an option to debut in 2025, but is likely to be placed in Prima Pramac.
