Upon entering the Ducati «universe», Marc Márquez competes for the Gresini satellite team and does not have a direct contract with the Borgo Panigale manufacturer. However, this doesn’t mean there’s an absence of connection with its directors.
The Spanish rider assured that he feels highly respected and supported by Ducati from the outset, and having this good relationship is crucial – aspects without which he wouldn’t have made the decision to join:
– From the beginning I feel a really good support from Ducati’s management. If you don’t feel the support, you don’t take the decision. It’s true that I’m in Gresini team, it’s true that I’m riding the 2023 bike, but this is something I already knew before arriving in Gresini. But you always need to have a good feeling and a good relationship with Ducati management, that are the top guys who decide. I always feel a lot of respect and this was and is important for my confidence.
