The six-time MotoGP champion is believed to be joining Gresini Ducati next season, after confirming he will bring an 11-year association with Hondaꦕ to an end.

Ducati general manager Gigi Dall’Igna had previously revealed ꧃his expectation that Marquez will sign a one-year contract at Gresini.

That means he will again stand to become a free agent in 2025, with the benefit of spending a☂ year on a Desmosedici and within the dominant Ducati’s ranks, knowledge which could potentially transform his next employer.

Dall’Igna was quoted by : "Am I afraid that he might take away the secret𝐆s in the event of a farewell in 2025? 

“Johann Zarco꧂ will go to Honda next year, it's the same thing. 

“He will take the information and know🉐ledge with him but it would be worse if an engineer left.”

Marquez is also expected to arrive at Gresini alone, 🉐without the inner-circle who ൲have been by his side throughout his glory years.

Chief crew Santi Hernandez will n🌼ot accompany him, it is su꧒spected.

That means Marquez would be guඣided by a brand new support structure next year, should his move to Gresini be confirmed.

And if he does choose to test his own value o🐻n the open market for the 2025 season, at least Ducati would be in a position of strength to keep the engineers who have worked closely by Marquez throughout 2024.
