“For me, all the doors are open," Marc Marquez says about his 2025 decision
Marquez quit his long allegiance with Honda to join Gresini Ducati this year, but is only tied to a one-year deal.He was questioned by TNT Sports about his future, and he replied: “I expect that the market will be more passionate.“Each manufacturer has signed a top rider - Ducati took Pecco, Yamaha took Quartararo, the next one will be Aprilia.“For me, all the doors are open.
The smile has returned, he is alongside brother Alex Marquez, riding the bike that won the 2023 title. Early performances and results - notably P5 in the Qatar sprint then P4 in the grand prix, P2 in the Portimao sprint, P2 in the COTA sprint then crashing out of the lead in the Texas Sunday race - suggest he is adapting well to the Ducati.Pramac’s Jorge Martin is currently leading the championship on the GP24, although champion Francesco Bagnaia is struggling more.
Marquez’s pursuit for an eighth MotoGP title is ruthless so, if he is offered a sniff of a faster bike, he could wear red next year. Whether Ducati would alter their philosophy of bringing riders through their ranks is a fair question. But they have already opened the door to Marquez within the Ducati family.Through Red Bull they share a mutual, powerful sponsor.Unless they can add more bikes to the grid and pair Acosta with Marquez, which is often mentioned as a dream combo.They have a year without him to improve their project to perhaps convince Marquez that, by 2025, they can fight at the front again.
