Not everybody in the paddock thinks Marc Marquez is a shoo-in for the 2025 factory Duca🧸ti team.

Enea Bastianini is the man in possession of the most coveted bike in M🐲otoGP but his own form this season could result in an extended stay next to Francesco Bagnaia, the reigning champion and his team’s star rider.

Gresini’s Marquez and Pramac’s Jorge Martin are als🍸o jostling for the bike next to Bagnaia.

“Marc to the🅷 factory Ducati team? I just can’t see it fitting,” Neil Hodgs🍨on told TNT Sports.

“But, then, why wo๊uld they not want Marc on their 🐲motorcycle?”

Suzi Perry replied: “They have opened t♛he door. They have 𒉰put Marc on a Ducati.

“There are people who have changed posi🅰tions at Ducati, arguably, because of that🧔.

“Because there were disagreements at the top of Duca🥂ti whether this was against their DNA of what Du♌cati do, bringing riders in.

“They⭕ have brought Marc in. If 🉐he can win the championship on a factory Ducati…”

Hodgson ♛replied: “Why would you not want him on your mo🐭torcycle?”

Perry: “It’s an incredible game of chess. It’s the most interesting landscape that we have, in terms of rider mov🐻ement.”

Hod🧜g🍰son: “If he doesn’t sign for the factory Ducati team, if that isn’t available, where does he go?

“Surely he won’t wa🅺nt to stay in the Gresini team on a year-old bike because of what he’s experiencing this year, when maybe the bike isn’t as good as🍃 it could be? Who knows.

“Where does he ꦐgo? KTM? KTM a🔴re so stacked with talent and have their seats full.

“There🐻 are rumours saying KTM will want Marc. It will be Marc and Pedro Acosta, the ൲dream team.

“Brad Binder alread🦩y has a contract but they could move him into Tech3 GASGAS✱.

“I can’t see that happening, by the way.

“There are so many rumours. So wher🌄e does Marc go?ಌ”

Marquez made it𒐪 very clear at the Americas MotoGP that he wants a🌼 factory bike in 2025.

Where that GP25 might be located is up fꦇor debate.

Gresini would love access to a factory-spec mac🍷hine to keep their star man but it appears unlikely.

Pramac, as well as the factory team, offer access to ♔the nᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚewest bike.

And the other issue is whether Ducati will b♏reak their philosophy of bringing through their own young r𓄧iders to fast-track Marquez into their official team, potentially irking Bagnaia in the process.
