A crucial aide to both Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagna💟ia vows to provide equal treatment this season.

Manuel Poggiali is Ducati’s r𝓡ider coach who splits his time between the factory garage and Gresini’s - although he knows Marquez and Bagnaia take priority.

He i🌱nsists that any competition betwꦕeen Ducati’s official riders will be on equal terms.

“On ✤paper it is the most successful team in the circus: Marc's 8 world championships and Pecco's 3 are certainly numbers that no other team has with it,” Poggiali told .

“But this is the past, we are interested in the present🌳, we wan🧸t to win this title.

“For our part, it is important to try to manage both riders iඣn the best possible way, to give both the same treatment, obviously the same material and to put both in the best personal conditions to be able to do their 🅰best.

“As a technical stafꦓf and team it is the most important thing.”

The atmosphere within the Ducati ☂garage will be under constant surveillance this season.

Marquez and Bagnaia will both want the♚ 2025 MotoGP championship for themselves.

Whether their d🧸esire spills over remains to be seen.

“I think he will be fine,” Poggiali insi๊sts about Marquez joining the factory team.

“I think both Pecco and Marc are two ﷺreally fast riders, two talents and 😼champions, as they have shown.

“Some more or less in terms of qualifications, partly for possibilities and years of🐻 experience🐼.

💛“However, I believe that both are formidable riders, true champions: being able to work with them will only be a privilege.

“Beyond everything that can revolve around, theཧre is only one goal in Ducati andཧ whoever is better will get it.”

Marquez and Bagnaia - and VR46’s Fabio di Giannantonio - will be in possession of the GP25, expected to✨ be MotoGP’s best bik꧅e this year.

Marquez must make the adaption from a year-old Ducati to its la🉐test version🃏.

But with powerful equipment at their disposal🏅, Marquez and Bagnaia are arguably the favourites for the title.

Champio🌊n Jorge Martin must defend his title while ad𝓀justing to the Aprilia factory garage.
