The future of the MotoGP paddock is shrouded in many doubts, at a time when only five riders have contracts for 2025. Surprising team changes could occur, and one of the riders who could shake up the market the most is Marc Márquez.
The six-time premier class champion is with Gresini on a contract that ends after 2024. If he delivers the strong performances that he has already shown he is capable of, he could very well become the target of interest from various manufacturers – starting with Ducati, but not only. And Jorge Lorenzo believes that KTM may try to sign his former teammate.
The current TV commentator said on DAZN: ‘In my view, at Aprilia the situation is very settled with Aleix [Espargaró] and Maverick [Viñales], they are the clearest options. It would surprise me a lot if KTM didn’t try to sign Marc Márquez next year. Because not only signing Marc Márquez, an eight-time world champion, but also including a rider who is with Red Bull in the factory team. And I think that between Brad Binder, who is a great rider and doing an incredible job, and Marc Márquez, KTM would theoretically have to choose Marc Márquez to create a dream team with Pedro Acosta – their young gem and the great champion that Márquez is. That would be the logical choice‘.
