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

Enea Bastianini is the man in possession of the most coveted bike in MotoGP but his own f💝orm this season could result in an extended stay next to Francesco Bꦑagnaia, the reigning champion and his team’s star rider.

Gresini’s Marquez and Pramac’s Jorge Martin are a🍷lso jostling for the bike next to💛 Bagnaia.

“Marc to the factory Ducatiꦉ team? I just can’t see it fitting,” Neil Hodgson told TNT Sports.

“But, then, why would t꧒hey not want♔ Marc on their motorcycle?”

Suzi Perry replied: “They have opened the door. They have put M𒆙arc on a Ducati.

“There are people who have changed positions at Ducati, ar🍸guably, because of that.

“Because there were disagreements at the top of Ducati whether this was against their DNA of what Ducati do, bringi💖ng riders in.

“They have brought Ma🐻rc in. If he can win the championship on ꧙a factory Ducati…”

Hodgson replied: “Why would you not 💫want himꦍ on your motorcycle?”

Perry: “It’🌊s an incredible game of chess. It’s the most interesting landscape that we have, in terms of rider movement.♑”

Hodgson: “Iꦦf he doesn’t sign for the factory Ducati team, if that isn’t available, where does he go?

“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 knows.

“Where does he go? KTM? KTM areꦍ so st♉acked with talent and have their seats full.

“There a🧸re rumours saying KTM will want Mar🍌c. It will be Marc and Pedro Acosta, the dream team.

“Brad Bind♕er already 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 Americas MotoGP t👍hat he wants a factory bike in 2025.

Where that GP25 might be l💎ocated is up for debate.

Gresini would love a💜ccess to a factory-spec machine to keep their star man but it appears unlikely.

Pramac, as well as the factory✅ team, offer access t🧔o the newest bike.

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