Marc Márquez’s move from Repsol Honda to Gresini in 2024 was a surprise to many. The rider chose to leave a factory team, opting for the conditions of a satellite team with a Ducati bike that wasn’t the latest model.

Borgo Panigale’s manufacturer also had to accommodate a rider in a satellite team who didn’t fit their strategy of prioritizing younger talent, as Jaime Alguersuari Sr. recalled on Dura la Vita: ‘All discussions with Ducati began in late 2023, even involving Ducati directly. Initially, Ducati wasn’t keen on the idea – they had a very clear focus on their young riders, and Márquez didn’t fit into that puzzle’.

There was also some controversy involved, as Márquez wanted to test if he could still enjoy racing and compete at the top with a competitive bike. Alguersuari Sr. commented: ‘It became a generational issue. Everyone started seeing Márquez as finished over the last four years, racing on a Honda that wasn’t competitive. But Márquez insisted. […]. Márquez was willing to ride whatever Ducati gave him’.

The former racer highlighted the significance of Márquez’s third-place finish this year, given the difference between the 2023 and 2024 bikes: ‘When Ducati internally accepted Márquez, still in 2023, their engineering team decided that Márquez couldn’t interfere in the fight. So, they chose to separate the 2023 and 2024 bikes in a way never seen before. And we saw the results: [Marco] Bezzecchi was 250 points ahead of Márquez. What happened with the rest of the four 2023 bikes? They vanished, except for the brother Álex , who was the best after Marc. Don’t tell me that isn’t epic. Marc Márquez disrupted the four untouchables’.
