The future of Marc Márquez in MotoGP is uncertain. Despite moving to Gresini this season, the rider has a contract for only one year, so he is free to sign with anyone he wants in 2025. And the ascent to the factory Ducati team has increasingly been seen as a strong possibility.
Now, it’s Guido Meda who anticipates that this might happen. The deputy director of Sky Sport in Italy, Guido Meda, stated in an interview with MotoSprint: ‘For me, seeing Márquez and [Francesco] Bagnaia in the factory team is not such an absurd idea, and the idea of building a dream team probably greatly stimulates a sportsman like Gigi Dall’Igna. In my opinion, Marc will not go to Honda or KTM, and will stay with Ducati. And it’s very likely to be in red’.
To welcome Márquez, Ducati would likely have to forego at least one young talent: Jorge Martín (Prima Pramac/Ducati), who has already made it clear that he wants to be in a factory team next year whether or not it’s with the Italian manufacturer. And there’s doubt whether Enea Bastianini, who currently occupies the seat alongside Francesco Bagnaia, would accept being demoted to a satellite team.
