The words of Jorge Lorenzo on the possible future of Marc Márquez They have been a real earthquake in MotoGP. According to the former pilot, he would go to Ducati once his current contract with Honda ends in 2024.
At Ducati they don’t believe it… although it seems that they are preparing a plan. Because Gigi Dall’Ignadirector of the brand, has made it clear that Marc would not agree to sign with a satellite team, that is, that he would only accept the first Ducati signature.
“First of all, I don’t think Márquez would agree to go to an unofficial team. He is a star and stars want to be treated as such”, he has expressed in statements collected by ‘Motorsport’.
“On his return after several months of inactivity he had a good race with Honda, so I would wait before saying that Marc and Honda will separate at the end of 2024. I don’t see it as an inevitable end, on the contrary, I think there are many possibilities that they will continue to do well together”, he predicts.
He wants to remark that he is happy with Pecco Bagnaia and Enea Bastianini: “That being said, we are happy with the drivers we have at the moment…”.
“One has not been able to stand out yet because he is injured, but I hope to see him fit again in Mugello, and the other is Pecco. Last year he did stratospheric things with our motorcycle Things that only a great champion can do. So, between now and 2024, there is still a lot to be done and anything can still happen,” he said.
Gigi seems to close the door on Marc, although that phrase “I wouldn’t accept going to an unofficial team” could give you a hint of what Ducati could offer you to that of Cervera. Anything can happen in the year 2024.
