Marc Márquez on Switching to Ducati: ‘With the Information We Have …’
Marc Márquez, the six-time MotoGP world champion, has finally opened up about the much-discussed possibility of switching to Ducati for the 2025 season. In a candid interview, Márquez hinted at the challenges and opportunities that come with making such a significant change in his illustrious career.
“With the information we have right now, it’s clear that Ducati is setting the benchmark in MotoGP,” Márquez said. “Their bikes are fast, reliable, and have consistently shown dominance in recent seasons. But making such a move is not just about the bike—it’s about the entire ecosystem.”
Currently racing for Honda, Márquez has faced a string of challenges with the Japanese manufacturer in recent years. Injuries and underperforming machinery have left the Spaniard frustrated, sparking speculation about his future. “Honda has given me everything,” Márquez emphasized. “But as a rider, I need to make decisions that align with my goals and ambitions.”
Ducati, which has dominated MotoGP with multiple race wins and a world title under Francesco Bagnaia, offers an enticing prospect. However, Márquez remains cautious. “Switching teams isn’t just about hopping onto a faster bike. It’s about adapting to a new team, new engineers, and a different riding philosophy. That takes time, effort, and trust.”
While Márquez refrained from confirming any negotiations, his comments have fueled speculation. “For now, my focus is on finishing the season strong with Honda. What happens next, we’ll see. I’ll only make a decision when I have all the facts.”
Fans and analysts alike are eager to see whether Márquez will take the leap to Ducati, a move that could redefine his career and MotoGP’s competitive landscape.
