The MotoGP transfer market has seen significant shifts, with Marc Márquez’s move to Ducati sparking intense discussions. Jorge Lorenzo has provided a detailed analysis of these developments, expressing his surprise at the rapid changes and emphasizing Márquez’s strategic play to secure a factory seat. Lorenzo highlighted how Ducati’s original plan to keep multiple top riders was altered by Márquez’s firm stance. He also touched on the potential competitive dynamics between Márquez and Pecco Bagnaia, noting that while Márquez has the same bike, age might be a limiting factor in his performance.
“I believe that the results, although the riders themselves denied it, have been fundamental. If Jorge Martín had won almost all the races, I think he would be in red now ; despite having to fight for that future with Marc Márquez. It is true that he is still first in the championship. But Márquez, with a GP23, is the only one who is close to 2024; and it’s Marc Márquez. Therefore, Domenicalli, with the pressure that Marc put on, preferred to secure Márquez rather than Martín. “It’s that simple ,”
Lorenzo also assured that now “there will be no excuses” for Marc Márquez to fight for the MotoGP title, as he has the will have the same bike as Pecco Bagnaia. However, age does not forgive; and he is, according to Lorenzo, “Is the only thing that works against him . ” “ The Pecco of 2019 with the Márquez of 2019, it was evident that Marc was three steps above. Now, with the same bike, I am not sure that Marc will beat him in all the races ,”
