Marc Marquez confirms why he rejected initial Ducati contract clause
Marc Marquez has revealed insight into why he didn’t acknowledge an underlying agreement proviso from Ducati.
Marquez will move from Gresini to the manufacturing plant Ducati group one year from now.
Pramac’s Jorge Martin will highlight for Aprilia in the 2025 MotoGP rider line-up accordingly.
Yet, Ducati at first offered Martin the sought after production line seat. In any case, it accompanied a legally binding provision: in the event that Marquez brings home the current year’s title, he is naturally elevated to the authority group without regard to Martin.
Martin acknowledged those terms however Marquez didn’t.
Why?
“It’s basic,” he made sense of to AS.
“One explanation, and the primary one, is that, assuming you need to acquire it on the track, you must have similar weapons.
“Furthermore, presently I don’t have them.”
Marquez was alluding to the year-old Ducati that he is at present riding for Gresini.
Martin, and title rivals Pecco Bagnaia and Enea Bastianini, have most recent spec hardware.
“However, it’s not a good reason,” Marquez said.
“I’m demonstrating the way that I can be cutthroat.
“Something else is that I was exceptionally certain that I wouldn’t change starting with one satellite group then onto the next.
“What’s more, the third point, competitors besides the fact that sports contracts however there have are others with supports who have followed me all through my profession and a global shut in September for the following two years and can hardly pause. It was unworkable.”
Marquez made obviously changing to Pramac (who might have conveyed his craving of a GP25) was not satisfactory, a surprising position which basically constrained Ducati to U-turn on their unique choice to give Martin the authority bicycle one year from now.
The remainder of the current year’s title battle (which is right now driven by Martin) will presently work out with the subplot of Martin moving to Aprilia, and Marquez moving to the production line Ducati group, in 2025.
