Marc Marquez has seen off every MotoGP teammate so far, but thin🧔gs will ramp up a notch in 2025 alongside Pecco Bagnaia.

D🅷ani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo, Alex Marquez (twice, at Honda and Gresini), Pol Espargaro, and Joan Mir have been alongside Marquez in the pit box.

This year, his rel✤ationship with ꦑBagnaia will be scrutinised.

E✤spargaro, who spent two seasons with Marquez in the factory Honda team, has got his eye on what happens.

“For sure,” he said. “It’s im🎐possible not to say so!

“They are two very big names. There are a lot of vic𓄧tories, and so many titles, inside their pit box.

“Itꦿ’s been a while since we’ve seen such a strong bike with two such strong riders.

“Like in football,꧟ Real Madrid this season, having amazing names in the team but not reaching the best results because of t𓄧eamwork.

𒉰“In MotoGP you split the work into two, and you have two small teams inside one t🦩eam.

“The only doubt I have? Are they able to work together as a team while they are fighting for the champio🦄nship? Because I have no doubts that they will be there.”

Bagnaia has become Ducꦦati’s star man after ending their 15 years without a MotoGP championshi🔴p, a feat even Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi failed to do.

Although Bagnaia failed to defend his title this year, with Pramac’s Jorge Martin claiming glory, the factory Ducati team’s faith in Bagnaia ne🦩ver wavered.

Marquez’s inclusion is a step awayꦗ from Ducati’s recent philosophy of developing the🌜ir own riders.

For Marquez himself, it is a final chanc꧑e at a ninth world title.

It means there could be fireworks between teammates, who will be riding the best♎ bike on the grid, as they both seek the championship.
