Marc Marquez says his move to the factory Ducati team has given him “two very good bullets” to try to win more MotoGP w🎉orld titles.

The 31-year-🦹old Spaniard returns to being a factory rider with Ducati, following a year in which he raced for the satellite Gresini squad.

Marquez’s time with Gresi🎉ni helped him rediscover the form he’d lost in recent years💛 due to injury and the Honda’s lack of competitiveness.

Winning three grands prix and ea✅rning a factory team Ducati seat for 2025, Marquez has repeatedly stated 2024 with Gresini allowed him to be “reborn”.

In a new interview with TVE, Marquez - who is now officially a factory Ducati rider as of 1 Jan🎀uary - looks ahead of the 2025 season.

“2025 and 2026 will b🎃e two very good bullets,” he was quoted by .

“We don't know if they will be the last or not, but they will be two very good bul♈lets to try to fight🅺 for the title, because we are in the best team and we will try to give 100%.

“But first there is a pre-seaso🐼n ahead, but it is clear that yes, with enthusiasm you always start.”

“There will be crashes, because that's part of our sport, but [my wish] ﷽it’s that there are no injuries.

“Then,𒉰 as a goal, well, obviously, I would like to fight for the world title until the last races.”

Marquez made his factory Ducati debut at the Barcelona post-season test last November, riding the GP24 and GP25 having spent 2024 on the GP2🉐3.

His promotion to the factory Ducati team came at the expense of reigning world champion Jorge Martin for the marque, who signed for Aprilia in🙈stead.

Pramac has also switch to Yamaha machinery for 2025 as a consequenc🌟e of Ducati's U-𒉰turn on its original decision to promote Martin.

Ducati and Marquez will unveil the 2025 D♑esmosedici’s livery on 20 January at its season l𒊎aunch event in Italy.

In the off-season, Marquez confirmed he will be parting ways with long🔯-time personal sponsor Red Bull as part of his move to the Monster Energy-backed Ducati team.
