168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez has shed light on why he didn’t accept an initial contract clause from Ducati.

Marquez will move from Gresini to the fact♓ory Ducati team next ye🅘ar.

Pramac’s Jorge Martin will feature for Aprilia in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2025 MotoGP rider line-up as a result.

But Ducati initially offered Martin the coveted factory seat. But it came with a contractual clause: if Marquez wins this year💦’s championship, he is automatically promoted to the official team at Martin’s expense.

Martin accepted those terms but Marquez did not.

Why?

“It's simple,” he explained to .

“One reason, and the main one, is that, if you have to earn it on the track, you have to have the samꦏ🌌e weapons.

“And now I don't have them.”

Marquez was referring to t🥀he ﷽year-old Ducati that he is currently riding for Gresini.

Martin, and title rivals Pecco Bagnaia and Enea Bastian🐎ini, have latest-spec machinery.

“But it's no excuse,” Marquez said.

“I'm showing that I can be competitive.

“Another thing is that I was very clear that I was not going to change♛ from one satellite team to another.

“And the third point, athletes not only have sports contracts but there are others with spons🍸ors who have followed me throughout my career and a multinational closes i🐬n September for the next two years and cannot wait. It was unfeasible.”

Marquez made it very clear that switching to Pramac (who could have delivered his desire of a GP25) was not acceptable, an unexpected stance which essentially forced Ducati to U-turn on their original decision to give Martin the official bike next y♛ear.

The rest of this y💝ear’s title fight (which is currently led by Martin) will now play out with the subplot of Martin moving to Aprilia, and Marquez moving to the factory Ducati🌠 team, in 2025.
