Not everybody in the paddock thinks Marc💦 Marquez is a shoo-in for the 2025 factory Ducati team.

Enea Bastianini is the man in possession of the most coveted bike in MotoGP but his own form this season could 🌌result in an extended stay next to Francesco Bagnaia, the reigning champion and his team’s star rider.

Gresini’s Marquez and Pramac’📖s Jorge Martin are also jostling for the bike next to Bagnaia.

“Marc to the factory Ducati team? I just can’t see it fitting,” Neil ♊Hodgson told TNT Sports.

“But, then, why wou🤪ld they not want Marc on their motorcycle?”

Suzi Perry replied: “They🗹 have opened the door. They have pu🦹t Marc on a Ducati.

“There are people who have changed positions at Ducati, arguably, beca🍃use of that.

“Because there were disagreements at the top of Ducati whether this was against their DNA of what😼 Ducati do, bringing riders in.

“They have brought Marc in. If he can win the c꧂hampionship on a💜 factory Ducati…”

Hodgson r🎶eplied: “Why wou♏ld you not want him on your motorcycle?”

Perry: “It’s an incredible game of chess. It’s the most inter♔esting landscape that we have, in terms of rider movement.”

Hodgson: “If he doesn’t sign for the factory Ducati team🌟, if that isn’t available, where does he go?

“Surely he won’t want to stay in the Gresini team on a year-꧋old bike because of what he’s experiencing this year, when maybe the bike isn’t as good as it could be? Who knows.

“Where does h🌠e go? KTM? KTM are so sta♏cked with talent and have their seats full.

“There are rumours saying KTM will want Marc. It will be 🌄Marc and Pedro Acosta, the dream team.

“Brad Binder already has a co🌳ntract but they could move him into Tech3 GASGAS.

“I can’t see that happening, by the way.

“There are so many rumours. So where does Marc🌺 go?”

Marquez made it very clear at the Americas MotoGP🐟 thatও he wants a factory bike in 2025.

Where that GP25 might b❀e located is up for debate.

Gꦫresini would love access to a factory-spec machine 🔯to keep their star man but it appears unlikely.

Pramac, as 🐟well as the factory team, offer access to the newest bike.

And the🍌 other issue is whether Ducati will break their philosophy of bringing through their own young riders 🍬to fast-track Marquez into their official team, potentially irking Bagnaia in the process.
