Marc Marquez is the protagonist of this market phase, but there is important news about the future. Here’s what’s happening.
The 2024 MotoGP season is offering a great show, with the Ducati in full control of the situation, but with a three-way fight for the world title. Jorge Martin leads with an 18 point margin over Pecco Bagnaia and 35 over Marc Marquezwho despite driving the inferior, from a technical point of view, Desmosedici GP23 of Gresini Racing, always stays in the wake of the two pacesetters, who can count on the official GP24. And that’s no small advantage this season.
Marquez has to jump through hoops to keep up with Martin and Bagnaia, who have a notable technical advantage in this phase. Immediately after Mugello, the native of Cervera has been announced as the new Ducati factory rider, but right now, important news is emerging on the market front. Here are the details on what could change in the future.
Marquez, here are the future scenarios
If the future of Marc Marquez will be closely linked to that of the Ducati factory, many more doubts hover around the future of his brother Alex, currently in his second year with the Gresini Racing. Indeed, in all likelihood the talented Fermin Aldeguer could join Nadia Padovani’s teamwho is currently involved in Moto2, and who has already signed a contract with the Borgo Panigale company starting in 2025, in order to arrive in MotoGP.
Initially, Aldeguer seemed destined for the team Pramacwhere he was supposed to replace the departing player Jorge Martinnow headed towardsAprilia after the official team failed to hire him. However, Pramac seems to be close to leaving Ducati to join Yamahawhich would lead Aldeguer to join the Gresini team. Let’s remember that the latter would still be left orphaned by Marc’s departure, so Alex’s future could be guaranteed by his brother’s farewell.
Alex Marquez sees his future in Ducati hanging on only one hope, that of remaining as Aldeguer’s teammate, but all the market movements could lead him to risk his job anyway. His performances, in this year and a half, have not been that significant, if we exclude a few podiums and a victory in a Sprint Race in Malaysia in 2023. And everything is still in progress.
