The “command” of the factory Ducaཧti garage could massively change in 2025,💧 it has been suggested.

Marc Marquez’s arrival in red will be a seismic change for﷽ MotoGP as a whole, but particularly for his new teammate Francesco Bagnaia.

Bagnaia won back-to-back titles to end𓆉 Ducati’s 15 barren years, establishing himse꧃lf as an Italian star for the manufacturer.

But Marquez will represent a vastly ♈different challenge as an established champion who knows this is his l🌠ast chance at further glory.

“Pecco is🌸 a double world champ🎉ion and has been in command of the garage for the past couple of years,” TNT Sports’ Michael Laverty assessed.

“🌟All of sudden, this massive [thorn] in his si꧙de has appeared.

“Marquez will want to control the Ducati garage.”

Suzi Perry replied: “Marc has played nice with Pecco, in press conference and o🔯n track.

“That’s not how it’s going to go, next year…”

Sylvain Guintoli said: “It’s not going to happe👍n. It will be a massive rivalry💜.

“The only advantage of Pecco not having ⭕the #1 next year is that, if he gets beaten by Marc, he won’t lose the #1 to his teammate!”

Neil Hodgson said: “To put it inꦺto perspective, Marquez on the year-old Duc𝄹ati has had 20 podiums.

“The other riders on the 2023 Ducati - Alex Marquez, Marco Bezzecchi and Fabio 🌊di Giannantonio - between them amassed only two podiums.”

Significantly, Marquez will be ste🌟pping onto equal machinery 📖as Bagnaia.

He spent 2024 battling for th🅷e title - until the final few rounds - on year-old machinery.

His arrival in 👍the factory team w🍷ill also be a challenge for Ducati bosses.

Their philosophy to not implemeꦓnt team orders between their eight rider🌺s in the past two seasons could be severely tested by Marquez's desire to win.

MotoGP champion Jorg🔯e Martin won the title on a factory-spec Ducati for the Pramac team but will race for Aprilia in 2025.
