“And I believe that, if Marc proposes himself, t🤪hey have the right and duty to take him into consideration.
“Then no o👍ne knows what will happen at this moment.༒.."
Paolo Ciabatti, Ducati’s sporting director, previously s🥀aid: "It seems that Gresini has this opportunity and that they are waiting for Marquez's decision.”
Itౠ is expected that the eight-time world champion will finalise 🌸his decision next weekend at the Japanese MotoGP - the home race of Honda.
