Marc Márquez is moving to Gresini in MotoGP in 2024, which leaves Ducati with a six-time world champion in the premier class in one of its satellite teams. The sporting director of the manufacturer, Paolo Ciabatti, believes it’s a good situation.
Speaking to Sky Sport, the Italian admitted that managing the rider might be a challenge, but it’s also a privilege to have his services: ‘We don’t hide the fact that having Marc Márquez on a Ducati can be challenging to manage, but it’s a luxury to have so many world champions on our bikes’.
It’s worth noting that, due to contractual reasons, Márquez will only have access to the Ducati Desmosedici GP23 from this year, while the GP24 is reserved for the riders of the official team and the Prima Pramac satellite team.
