Gigi Dall’Igna: “Our choice fell on an unquestionable talent like Marc Márquez”

Ducati will be bidding farewell to both world championship leader Jorge Martin and five-time race winner Enea Bastianini, as well as potentially losing the Pramac team to Yamaha.

But the idea, apparently to Ducati’s surprise, was promptly shot down in flames by Marquez, who said switching to Pramac was ‘not an option’. Marquez’s deal to join Bagnaia was officially confirmed this morning, with Bastianini thought to have already agreed terms for a Tech3 KTM seat. “Deciding on Bagnaia's new teammate in the Ducati Lenovo Team was not easy, as we had a list of very strong riders to choose from.“In just a few races, he has managed to adapt perfectly to our Desmosedici GP, and his innate ambition pushes him to grow continuously.

Dall’Igna had previously hinted at Marquez getting the 2025 seat by saying Ducati would take into account the 'histories' of the riders when making its factory team decision.
