Ciabatti did not rule out the possibility of Marquez joining Ducati completely, howev🔥er, it’s evident to the Ducati Corse Sporting Director that focusing on younger MotoGP talent that’s already contracted to the Italian brand is the main priority.

This comes after Ducati General Manager, Luigi Dall’Igna, left the door open to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marquez joining Ducati by s෴aying: “In life you can never know or say.”&nbܫsp;

Every Ducati rider on the grid is younger than Marquez, with the exception being Pramac’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Johann Zarco who is 32 years of age - Marquez is 29. 

But while age is just o﷽ne ingredient that many of the other Ducati riders have on their side compared to Marquez, so is the experience and level of performance many of them have shown aboard Ducati machinery.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia has already become MotoGP champion, while the addition of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini to the ♛Factory Lenovo Duc♈ati Team means they have arguably the best rider pairing on the grid.

Then there’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin who is perhaps the most naturally talented of all Ducati’s riders, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi, who was extremely impressive as a rookie, and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini have bags of potential too.

In an interview with Tony Vacarella on Instagram, Ciabatti said: "Marc Marquez ♒is a fantastꦑic rider, but he is 5 or 6 years older than the riders we have. So we prefer to focus on the riders who are growing with Ducati. 

"Marc and Alex live t🎐ogether and share a lot🃏 of things, so I have no doubts that Marc will ask Alex how things are going… But our plans are different."

Focusing within the Ducati project as opposed to potential signings down the road, Ciabatti could be facing the tough task of keeping th꧙e partnership between Bagnaia 𓄧and Bastianini civil as both riders are expected to fight for the title.

Championship fights between teammates have been few and far between in recent years, but given the form both men showed last season, an𝄹d the performance of the bike, it’s a distinct possibility in♓ 2023.

Speaking on how he will handle the two Italian riders, Ciabatti added:𒁏 "Some people ask me how I manage to manage two Italian riders. I answꦕer that it is better to manage two riders who can win the world championship than who cannot."
