The arrival of Marc Marquez at Ducati has generated immense interest in the world of MotoGP. Team principal Davide Tardozzi spoke about the dynamics within the team and the role that the Spanish rider plays while keeping the competition in check, skeptical about the idea of a peaceful cohabitation between these two Champions.
The official team Ducati approaches the 2025 MotoGP season with unrivaled confidence, thanks to a box that aligns 11 world titles, including three for Pecco Bagnaia and eight for Marc Marquez. These two MotoGP giants are set to team up on the Desmosedici GP25 Factory, and with such a line-up, Ducati positions itself as the undisputed favorite for the upcoming season. However, behind this formidable team, there is a man who watches over the internal dynamics and who has always been a fervent defender of his drivers: Davide Tardozzi.
Tardozzi, who saw the journey of Marquez in different facets, does not hide his admiration for the humility and sincerity of the Spanish pilot. We appreciate his humility and sincerity in what he says, for better or for worse " he confides. According to Tardozzi, the role of Marquez is not only a champion, but also an ally to his teammates, contributing to the elevation of the group as a whole. We are convinced that Marc is, in addition to a champion, a person who helps the champion ", has explained Tardozzi on Mundo Deportivo.
He is no stranger to the internal challenges this team could face. He mentions in particular the incident where Marquez followed bagnaia during the tests, a moment that caused tensions. There were also moments of anger, such as when Marquez followed Bagnaia's wheel with the Honda to enter Q2 ", remember Tardozzi.
Davide Tardozzi: “ To all those who say that there will be problems, I answer that it is they who have a problem: that of having neither Marc nor Pecco. »
However, he clarifies that he has never changed his mind on Marquez : " Marc explained to me why he did that, why he was in crisis. That's one way of looking at it.. I understood his motivation. "This mutual respect and ability to resolve tensions are part of what can make this team strong and cohesive.
For Tardozzi, work with Pecco Bagnaia et Marc Marquez is above all a pleasure, because they are professionals and champions of the highest class. Working with riders like Marc and Pecco is very easy, because they are champions and smart guys, but above all professionals ", he assures. He also reacts firmly to external speculations about a possible conflictual rivalry between the two drivers: " To all those who say that there will be problems, I answer that it is they who have a problem: that of having neither Marc nor Pecco. »
Tardozzi firmly believes that the coexistence between the two pilots will be beneficial for Ducati. He insists: " Marc will make Ducati grow, he will not eclipse it. Ducati and Marc are a plus, so it's good for us and for him. " This perspective of a united team under the leadership of Tardozzi, with champions like bagnaia et Marquez, seems to prove that Ducati is well equipped to dominate MotoGP 2025.
With the arrival of Marc Marquez in the official team Ducati, next to Pecco Bagnaia, and the leadership of Davide Tardozzi, factory Ducati seems more ready than ever to face the 2025 season. Both drivers, although evolving in a highly competitive environment, know that their strength lies in team cohesion and mutual respect. All that's left is to...
