Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo believes Marc Marquez will “make our lives super difficult” in 2024 when he switches to the Gresini Ducati MotoGP team.
On Thursday, Gresini announced it had signed the eight-time world champion for 2024, a week on from Honda agreeing mutually to part ways with him at the end of the season. Marquez will ride a year-old Ducati next season, taking over the machine that is currently leading the championship in Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin's hands. Quartararo, who has had a similarly difficult 2023 to Marquez, believes the Spaniard will cause a major headache for the field when he jumps on the Ducati.
'I'm surprised because after the Misano GP, he made a lot of jokes on social media. 'So, for this reason, I thought he was staying and playing with us. But after Motegi, after the podium, he announced he was going away from Honda with still one year on the contract. 'I was quite impressed, but if he takes this decision, it is for something. 'We have to respect this decision and I hope that Marc is going to win again.
