In❀stead, Gresini Racing’s new recruit will receive J☂ohann Zarco’s bike.

Gresini will🥀 continue to run year-old spec Ducatis in 202🌟4, while the factory and Pramac teams profit from up-to-date bikes.

"Marc Marquez, like all the ot🦄her teams that will use the Ducati Desmosedici GP23, will start with the bike with which Johann Zarco finished the year,” Ducati gener꧙al manager Gigi Dall’Igna was quoted by . 

“On the bikes ও💟of Pecco Bagnaia, Jorge Martín and Enea Bastianini we introduced some more evolutions, but they gave us some problems, both in terms of reliability and performance.

"So we do 🦂not believe that these evolutions that we introduced are easy to use in private teams. 

“So we have preferred not to put 🐷certain things on them as is sometimes the case.&n🐽bsp;

“We wilꩵl strive to give the best of ourselves to all the riders who have Ducati written on the tank.

"In the end,𒊎 I listen to all the riders in exactly the same way. I have never followed a single ride🐼r. 

“I consider it a mistake because the important 𓆏thing is to improve the bike and I am convinced that if the bike has a problem, even if the official rider does not tell me, I am convinced that if they solve the problem the official rider will also be able to be faster on the track. 

“So I have always listened to all the riders all my life and I will continue 🐓to do♛ so.”

The bike which Marquez w﷽ill begin his Ducati adventure on will, therefore, lack the updates that Bagnaia and Martin’s machines enjoyed in the final st𝓀retch of this year, notably a new start device or fork winglets.

Ba💟gnaia and Martin will ꦆmove onto updated-spec Desmosedicis.
