Questions posed about how Ducati will deal with four riders in current title battle
Ducati ’s stance on this year’s MotoGP title battle - involving Jorge Martin and Marc Marquez - was debated on the Crash MotoGP podcast.The dominant manufacturer in the premier class caused a sensation this week by picking Marquez for their 2025 factory team.
It had seemed, days earlier, that Martin was set to be appointed until Marquez rejected Ducati’s idea of riding for Pramac.But Ducati will now face questions about how their deal with four of their riders in the current championship battle, knowing Martin and Enea Bastianini will leave at the end of the year.
Podcast host Jordan Moreland asked: “Does this change the dynamic for Ducati not giving support?“Now, he’s probably pressing Ducati to say ‘I want upgrades on this ‘23 to make it the latest spec’.”“If Martin has a bad weekend, or if he’s struggling, people will be saying ‘is he getting all the help that maybe he should be getting? Given that, if he wins, he takes the #1 to a rival Italian factory’.
“All of those things… it will be a really tough balancing act for Ducati to make sure everybody is treated as well as they can be.”He is 18 points ahead of Pecco Bagnaia, the factory Ducati rider and reigning champion.2024 F1 Canadian Grand Prix - Friday Practice LIVE!Max Verstappen warns no quick fix to Red Bull woes despite “wake-up call”
