Not everybody in the paddock thinks Marc Marquez is a shoo-in for the 2025 factory Ducati team🌠.

Enea Bastianini is the man in possession of the 🐼m🐻ost coveted bike in MotoGP but his own form this season could result in an extended stay next to Francesco Bagnaia, the reigning champion and his team’s star rider.

Gresini’s Marquez and Pramac’s Jorge Martin are also jostl💟ing for the bike next to Bagnaia.

“Marc to t🍨he factory Ducati team? I just can’t see it fitting,” Neil Hodgson told TNඣT Sports.

“Bu🧸t, then, why would they not want Marc on their motorcycle?”

Suzi Perry replied: “They have open♐ed the door. They have put Marc on a Ducati.

“There are people who have changed positions at Ducati, arguably, because of 🥃that.

“Because there were disagreements at the top of Ducati whether this was ꦜagainst their DNA of what Ducati do, bringing riders in.

“They have brought Marc in. If he can win t🍬he championship on a factory Ducati…”

Hodgson re⛄plied: “Why would you not want him on your motorcycle?”

Perry: “It’s an incredible game of chess. It’s the most interesting la🐬ndscape that we have༺, in terms of rider movement.”

Hodgson: “If he doesn’t sign for the factory Ducati team, if that isn’t available, where does he g👍꧟o?

“Surely he won’t want to stay in the Gresini team on a year-old bike because of what he’s experiencing this year, when maybe the bike isn’t as good as it could be? Who kno🅠ws.

“Where does he go? KTM? KTM are so stacked with talent and have their seaꦚts full.

“There are rumoursಞ saying KTM will want Marc. It will be Marc and Pedro Acosta, the dream team.

“Brad Binder a♐lready has a contract but they could move him into Tech3 GASGAS.

“I can’t see that happening, by the way.

“There 🌱are ♊so many rumours. So where does Marc go?”

Marquez made it very clear at the Amerඣicas MotoGP that he wants a factory bike in 2025.

Where that GP25 might be located is up for debate🔥.

Gresini would love access to a factory-spec machine to keep their star man but it appear꧋s unlikely.

Pramac, as well as the factory team, offer access to the newest bik🔴e.

And the other issue is whether Ducati will break thei😼r philosophy of bringing through their own young riders to fast-track Marquez into their official team, potentially irking Bagnaia in the process.
