Marc Márquez has titles, experience, and a very strong presence in the garage and the current world champion, Pecco Bagnaia, who will have the Spaniard as a teammate in 2025, fears that the #93 could change the current dynamics, as revealed by Davide Tardozzi.
After confirmation that the superstar will move up to the factory team from next year, the Italian team’s Team Manager was asked by Cycle World about the rider’s reaction to Márquez’s arrival, with the manager clarifying and revealing his fears from Bagnaia:
– Pecco has often repeated that he hopes to keep the existing harmony in the garage, so his concern is there will be situations that could damage this atmosphere in the garage. This is also our priority.
Tardozzi, however, believes that Márquez will not cause issues, and that there is the ability to manage correctly between both riders: ‘We don’t think that Marc’s presence can create problems inside the Ducati garage. We think we are able to manage two champions like Marc and Pecco’.
