Despite using a Ducati GP23 from the previous year, Marc Marquez has shown all his talent this season. The Spanish rider quickly adapted to his new machine and delivered remarkable performances, despite a few incidents such as his bike catching fire at Mandalika.
The 2024 MotoGP season was marked by the dominance of the Ducati GP24, and even exceptional talent like Marc Marquez had to deal with limitations on its aging GP23 machine. However, Davide Tardozzi, the team director Ducati, clarified that Marquez did not request any further updates for his bike, highlighting the professionalism of the Spanish rider.
« This year he is free to do his best on the track ", said Tardozzi to TNT Sports. All technical options are in the contract. Marc knows what he can have, he asks for nothing more.. » This statement shows the confidence that Ducati grants to Marquez, which focuses on optimizing its current package without looking for external improvements. Despite this, Marquez was able to convince Ducati of his potential, which earned him a promotion to the factory team for the 2025 season, alongside the current champion, Pecco Bagnaia.
Davide Tardozzi: “ For next season we have two smart guys at Ducati »
Tardozzi expressed confidence in the future collaboration between Marquez et bagnaia, stating: “ we think, we hope, we know that the relationship will be good. " He added that the entire team, including Gigi Dall'Igna et Mauro Grassilli, works to maintain harmony within the team.
« For next season we have two smart guys. Not just fast, but smart too ", said Tardozzi. “ They know that by working together, they can develop the 2025 bike very efficiently. Finally, It's the track that will tell us who is the fastest, but both drivers will be very fast. » This promise of collaboration between two of the greatest talents in Grand Prix could well reinforce a domination already established by Ducati en MotoGP.
