Gigi Dall’Igna answers question: ‘Will Ducati sign Marc Marquez?’
The Repsol Honda star rider is contracted for 2024 and has claimed he will stay yet reports continue to emerge that he might seek a better🍌 bike elsewhere.
The current vacancy at Pramac Racing was linked to Marquez, before the assumed free seat at Gresini wꦕas even more surprisi💖ngly touted as his destination.
"Anyway, it's a difficult s♔tory,” the Ducati general manager told .
“I do𝕴n't think Marc Marquez will ride for Ducati in the fut🌱ure.
“On the other hand, it has often be🧔en shown that nothing is impossible in our sport.
"Yes, yes, we don't have to talk about how fast🐈 Marc Marquez is.
"We know that very well."
Johann Zarco’s exit from Pramac to LCR Honda, where he will replace🍬 Yamaha-bound Alex Rins in 2024, has freed up the best bike on the grid for next season, the😼 latest-spec Desmosedici.
Frꩲanco Morbidelli, who is currently without a seat next year,༒ is a contender.
Marco Bezzecchi was offered the Pramac seat but could stay put at Mooney VR46 inst🍌ead.
Separately, Fa🌄bio di Gia🥂nnantonio is expected to lose his Gresini seat, creating another opening.
"We don't want to set a deaඣdline for the team and Bezzecchi and we didn't do 💟it," said Dall'Igna.
"The team is a Ducati team, Bez𝕴zecchi is really a great rider who grew up in the Ducat🐠i family.
“But it is in the interest of everyone in꧅volved that we hear the decision in Misano at the latest, maybe even in Bar🥃celona."
