Gresini Ducati boss drops massive hint about Marc Marquez at Indian MotoGP
One of the most stunning moves in MotoGP history appears to be close to completion, with Marquez𓄧 set to swap Repsol Honda for the Ducati satellite team.
He would partner his brother Alex Marquez, who left Honda a year ago and has loved his time at Gresini so far, if t🍸he move goes ahead.
Michele Masini, the Gresi﷽ni sporting director, was quizzed about signing Marquez and responded to : "We aim to hire the strongest rider.
"The objective of any sports director and team manager is to aim for the best peꦦrꦬforming rider possible among the various options.”
Factory Ducati team manager Davide Tardozzi we🍌ighed in: "Gresini has the right to choose the best rider possible.
“And I believe that, if Marc proposes himself, they ha♔ve the right and duty to take him in𝓡to consideration.
“Then no one knows♊ what will happen at this mome🌸nt..."
Paolo Ciabatti, Ducati’s sporting director, previousꦚly said: "It seems that Gresini has this opportunity and🌌 that they are waiting for Marquez's decision.”
It is exp🌜ected that the eight-time world champion will finalise his decision next weeke🥀nd at the Japanese MotoGP - the home race of Honda.
After two frustrating years lingering behind the better bikes on the grid, Marquez could now be set to ride a🃏 year-old Desmosedici in 2024.
