Marc Marquez’s future is among the topics on the latest Crash.net MotoGP podcast.
The eight-time world champion sensationally left Repsol Honda at the end of last season and joined Gresini Ducati on a one-year deal.
“We know Marc wants to be competitive and wants to fight for race wins. But how important is fighting for the world championship to him? Because if it’s his priority, he’ll need a factory team, realistically. “So if Aldeguer goes to Pramac for example, Ducati might be able to offer that factory spec bike to Marquez at Gresini. Marquez does almost have the pick of any manufacturer, with so many seats available, but I think it’d be disappointing to see him leave Ducati after just one season.”
“As Rob said, he’s building up experience on the Ducati, which we know is a great bike but is a particular bike as well. There’s a certain way you have to ride it. And he’s learning that. So it’d be a shame to throw that work away and start again on another bike. “We saw Aleix also fast in pre-season testing and Qatar - so it doesn’t look like a one-rider bike - but if Aprilia keeps winning it’s got to be on Marc’s radar. Especially if Ducati are not able to offer that factory chance.
“Gigi will also know how badly he needs to keep him for next year, especially with the other European bikes threatening Ducati’s dominant position. KTM has also got Acosta, the new Marquez some people say, who looks like someone Ducati will have to beat.
