With Jorge Martín confirmed at Aprilia and Enea Bastianini, apparently on his way to Red Bull GasGas Tech3, it is increasingly evident that Ducati chooses Marc Márquez as Francesco Bagnaia’s teammate in MotoGP in 2025.
A decision that driver manager Alberto Vergani was already expecting, as he stated to GPOne.com: ‘Yes […] . Martín is a great talent, as is Bastianini, but [Gigi] Dall’Igna would never have wasted a champion like Marc Márquez, who is an eight-time world champion‘.
In the agent’s view, Ducati Corse’s general manager, Dall’Igna, will fulfill another dream by choosing Márquez: ‘Gigi’s dream was to win the World Championship with Ducati and he achieved it, and soon he will also achieve what he has with Marc Márquez, which is to bring him to the factory Ducati after relaunching him this year‘.
For Vergani, at this point only the official confirmation is missing for the big question in the 2025 rider market to be resolved: ‘In the end, the market’s risk has been resolved. For several months we talked about who would work alongside Pecco Bagnaia and now all that remains is for Ducati to make it official with Márquez after yesterday’s announcement from Aprilia with Martín‘.
