The suggestion that six-time MotoGP champion Marquez could leave Honda when his contract expires at the end of 2024 and move to D𓂃ucati has been kept alive by Jorge Lorenzo.

Marquez’s former teammate Lorenzo has claimed that Ducati will offer Marquez the opportunity to chase an elusive seventh championship on a more cꦬompetitive bike.

But Domenicali told : “These things are nice bec𒆙ause they make people talk, like in the sports bar. 

“But I think it's not the r🌄ight ✱thing for us. 

“We have an amazing groꦬup of riders that we have raised ourselves. 

“Francesco Bagnaia is a crazy talent, he's underestimated, h🅺e still ma🏅kes some mistakes but he's there. 

“If he h🔯adn't made a mistake we would have already talked about [another] championship.

“But there is not only Pecco, we also have Enea Bastianini, Jorge Martin, ma꧋ღny young people who we are following. 

“Marquez is an extrꦛaordinary talent, he doesn't☂ have to prove anything to anyone. 

“But Ducati draws its strength from the way we work with our rid♚ers. 

“Ours is a family spirit, today we are fine like this and we will continue like this. The results are gꦏiving us reason.”

Gigi Dﷺall’Igna, Ducati’s general manager, previously gave a jovial answer: “I don’t think Marc would ag🅠ree to go to an unofficial team.” 

However, Honda’s inabi🌄lity to deliver machinery that could propel Marquez to another championship is the root cause o♌f speculation about his future.

He is now aged 30, and despite his ongoing brillian🍰ce, time is running out.

His injury record is also mounting. Despite entering 2023 injury-free for the first time in years, he broke his hand on the first weekend of the season and, after an absence to recover, has been playing catch-u🌸p ever since. 

He is 82 points behind championship-leader Bagnaia heading into the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Italian MotoGP this weekend.

Next season 🐻will be the last of Marquez’s current contract which is🔯 the most lucrative in MotoGP today.

Honda must either fork out another big-money dea♎l for a rider who is getting older, and whose injuries are regularly keeping him sidelined.

Or, the unthinkablಞe happens, and Marqu🎃ez finds a new home for 2025.
