Nꦇot everybody in the paddo꧃ck thinks Marc Marquez is a shoo-in for the 2025 factory Ducati team.

Enea Bastianini is the man in possession of the most coveted bike in MotoGP but his own form this season could result in ♚an extended stay next to Francesco Bagnaia, the reigning champion and his team’s star rider.

Gresini’s Marquez and Pramac’s Jorge🌳 Martin are alღso jostling for the bike next to Bagnaia.

“Marc to ꧑the factory Ducati team? I 💞just can’t see it fitting,” Neil Hodgson told TNT Sports.

“But, then, why✅ would they not want Marc on t🧜heir motorcycle?”

Suzi Perry replied: “They have opened the doorꦏ. They have put Marc on a Ducati.

“There are people who have chan🍃ged positions at 🎃Ducati, arguably, because of that.

“Because there were disagreements at the top of Ducati whether this was against their DNA of what Du൩cati do, bringing ridℱers in.

“They have brought Marc in. If he can win the championship on a factory ♉Ducati…”

Hodgson replied: “Why would yo❀u not want him on your mot🥀orcycle?”

Perry: “It’s an incredible game of chess. It’s the most interesting land💫scape that ꦺwe have, in terms of rider movement.”

Hodgson: “If he doesn’t sign for the fac𝕴tory Ducati 🐽team, if that isn’t available, where does he go?

“Surely he won’t want to stay in the Gresini team on a year-old ⭕bike because of what he’s experiencing this year, when maybe the bike isn’t as good 🤪as it could be? Who knows.

“Where does he go? KTM? KTM are so stacked ཧwith talent an🔯d have their seats full.

“There are rumour🧜s saying KTM will want Marc. It will be Marc and Pedroಞ Acosta, the dream team.

“Bꦿrad Binder alr💛eady has a contract but they could move him into Tech3 GASGAS.

“I can’t see that happening, by the way.

“Th꧒ere are so many rumours. So where does Marc go?”

Marquez m꧑ade it very clear at the Americas MotoGP that he wants a factory bike in 2025.

Where that 🌠GP25 might be located is up for debate.

Gresini would love access to a factory-ꦑspec machine to keep their star man but it appears unlikely.

Pramac, as well as th♎e factory team, off♋er access to the newest bike.

And the other issue is whether Ducati will break their philosophy of bringing♊ through their own young riders to fast-track Marquez into their official team, potentially irking B༺agnaia in the process.
