The Spanish rider's rea🀅ppeaꦅrance in the 2024 MotoGP rider line-up was never in doubt but has now been formalised.

"He stays," the Duc🃏ati satellite team posted to social media featuring a picture of Marquez with team owner Nadia Padovani, and a separate picture of ex-Barcelona footballers Gerard Pique and Neymar who are known for their own "he stays" post which went viral.

Perdona? Y esto sin mi 𒁏💦permiso? A que me marco un Neymar…

— Alex Márquez (@alexmarquez73)

Marquez's confirmation comes less than a week after he won the sprinꦦt race at the British MotoGP, the first time he had tasted victory in the premier c🏅lass.

𓄧This is his first season within the Ducati clan, having made the emotional decision to leave Honda where he had spent his e🍃ntire MotoGP career, and where his esteemed brother Marc Marquez still remains.

Alex has out-performed Marc for the first time this season, sinc✤e joining Gresi𒈔ni.

The status of nexꦆt ꦓyear's teammate for Alex Marquez remains unconfirmed though.

Currenജt incumbent Fabio di Giannantonio is expected to lose his se🌳at.

Moto2 prospects Tony Arbolinജo and Jake Dixon are in the mix, but so is Franco Morbidelli who has been axed from Yamaha.
