Ducati Corse sporting director Mauro Grassilli says the factory was ‘not ready’ but also ‘not surprised’ by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez publicly turning down the option of a move to Pramac Ducati for the 2025 MotoGP season.

Rumours on the eve of the Italian GP suggest Pramac's current title leader Jorge Martin has won the battle to becoꦰme Francesco Bagnaia’s future team-mate and that𒐪 Marquez would be promoted to factory machinery at Pramac…

But the eight-time world champion, now riding a 2023 machine at Gresini, has other ideas, statꩵing: “Pr✨amac is not an option for me.”

“It is a very delicate moment of the season. Each rider tries to ma﷽ke the best strategy for himself and for his future. [Marc's] statement therefore did not surprise us and we take note of it," Grassilli told . 

"Pramac is a formidable team, it is an official bike,🍬 managed by professionals."

Grassilli added: "We were not ready for these declarations [by Marquez], but we are not ready for many other declarations: we🧸 🔯cannot always know what the riders are saying, who are special and super intelligent people and must say what they feel at that particular moment."  

Marquez spe🍸lt out on Thursday that the only Ducati options he would consider are either the factory team or staying at Gresini, with a factory b𒆙ike.

The problem for Marquez is that Pramac ꦛlooks set to turn down Yamaha’s ඣadvances and renew with Ducati for 2025, thus keeping its factory-spec supply which could otherwise be redistributed to Gresini and perhaps VR46.

“I expect Paolo Campinoti and P𝔉ramac to remain with us for aܫt least the next two years,” said Grassilli.

Just how ex⛄clusive the🎀 Pramac-factory Ducati deal is remains unclear.

But if Marquez loses out to Marti📖n at the official team and doesn’t get a fac🎀tory bike at Gresini, speculation suggests he could switch to KTM.

Grassiܫlli left the door open to some kind of compromise if a Marquez-Pramac deal is out of theꦅ question:

"Certainly [Marc Marquez] going to Pramac was one of the different analyses [we have considered], but not𝓡 the only one. We are still evꦑaluating many other hypotheses."

Ducati has ruled out officially announc🌃ing Bagnaia's 2025 team-mate during the Mugello weekend♐.
