Ducati Corse is thrilled to confirm a two-year contract with Marc Márquez. At the end of this season, the Spanish rider, currently with the Gresini Racing MotoGP team on the Desmosedici GP, will transition to the Ducati Lenovo Team. The eight-time World Champion (31 years old) will team up with Francesco Bagnaia, riding the prestigious red Ducati until 2026.
This move will make the season of 2025 very exciting, and we can´t wait to see how the two riders will get along in the same garage in the same colours.
Marc Márquez:
“I am very happy to be able to wear the red colours of the factory Ducati team in MotoGP next season. Basically, from the first contact with the Desmosedici GP, I enjoyed riding it and adapted well straight away. From that moment on, I knew that my goal was to continue this path, to continue to grow, and to move to the team where Pecco Bagnaia has been the World Champion for two years in a row.”
“ I am happy to be able to take this big step in 2025 and grateful for the trust Ducati has placed in me. Finally, I want to thank Nadia, Carlo, Michele, and the entire Gresini Racing family for opening the door of their team to me at a delicate time in my career. Now, we will continue to have fun and give it our all in what remains of the current season, which is my priority right now.”
