Marc Márquez was confirmed less than a week ago as a Ducati rider in MotoGP from 2025 – being the second factory team he represents.
Currently in a transitional year with Gresini, in which he returned to the top positions aboard a Ducati Desmosedici GP23, the Spaniard has a career linked to Repsol Honda.
He was with the Japanese manufacturer between 2013 and 2023, winning six titles (the last of them in 2019). However, the partnership did not end well: between 2020 and 2022, Márquez suffered several physical problems.
At the same time, the RC213V lost momentum, becoming one of the least competitive and most difficult bikes to ride in the paddock – which led the Spaniard to make the drastic decision to move to Gresini this year, seeking to ascertain if he could still compete at the top with the right bike.
The confirmation is evident: after seven rounds, he has three podiums, has always been in the fight for the top three, and is in third place in the championship. Results that convinced Ducati to choose Márquez for 2025, thus starting a new phase of his career.
In the following video, you can recall some moments of this #93’s journey.
