The Ducati stance on Marc Marquez’s 2025 factory hopes after Qatar debut
Will D�🐼�ucati consider Marc Marquez as Francesco Bagnaia's 2025 teammate?

Ducati admit that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez is in the mix for a 2025 factory seat.
Marquez swapped Repsol Honda for Gresini Ducati to ride a GP23 this season, and made intriguing progress on his race debut at last weekend’s Qatar MotoGP.
T🍌he addition of Marquez to the Ducati clan has raised the question of who will be Fra🦩ncesco Bagnaia’s teammate in red next year.
“Surely Marquez can al𝓀so enter th🐈e fight to be Pecco's teammate,” Ducati team manager Davide Tardozzi said to .
“But we're in no hurry. I don't know﷽ when that decision will be made.
“Marquez is a great champion.”
Current incumbent Enea Bastianini and Pramac’s Jorge Martin - considered to be the two riders ཧin contention - will both see their current contracts expire at ♛the end of this year.
It means Ducati can make a fresh decision to pair with Bagnaia, who has been signed to a lon๊ger-term coꩵntract.
Opting for Marquez would mean a st🎶ep up t🃏o the most developed version of the Desmosedici, which is currently the best bike in MotoGP, giving him the perfect ammunition to add to his legacy.
A P4 finish in Qatar by Marquez impresꦓsed h𝕴is Ducati bosses.
“Smart,” Tardozzi reacted.
“He has done what he had to do.
“Marc will reach the positions where the races are played. He is a rider who will win races 💧and possibly be able to fight for the championship.”
But there is l🗹ittle doubt that Bagnaia ꦐremains Ducati’s - and MotoGP’s - top rider after winning the Qatar opener.
“Pecco has been impressive,” Tardozzi sai🍸d about the reigning champion.
“On Saturday he suffered from the chatter, which came from being behind, from the turbulence of the slipstreams, which 𓂃is a problem because it causes the temperature of the front tyre to rise.
“It is essential♈ to put yourself first and on Saturday niꦫght he told us that he would start in the lead and leave, as he has done.”
But stealing the show in Qat൩ar last weekend was Pedro Acosta.
The🐻 MotoGP rookie finished P9 but notably overtook Marquez in an eye-opening debut.
“Acosta is a champion, but he needs ♑more time,” Tardozzi reacted.
“Here you have made a mi𝔉stake by pushing too hard and wearing the tyres more than necessary.
“This is because he has n�🃏�o experience yet with this bike and these tyres.
“Acosta in the middle of𝐆 the championship will be one who makes podiums…”
