The future of the Repsol H♎onda star is up for debate - there are many moving parts including his big-money contract, his injury history, anꦑd the riders at other teams.

Ducati, currently MotoGP’s dominant team, h𒈔ave eight bikes on the grid but seemingly have the least need to acquire Marquez.

• Marcܫ Marquez questions Honda struggles of Lorenzo, Alex, Pol, Mir: “Why?”

Yet when asked, Dom🤡enicali’s response to was: "It would be very complex and difficult, in 🅷any situation."

Marquez is tied to Honda until the end of 2024.

Domenicali said a♎bout Marquez’s awful year: “At the first race of the year he was on pole after a complicated winter.ಞ 

“Then Marc went too far with certain behaviours, but compared to his teammates it♏ made the difference. 

“At the Sachsenring, on ✃a friendly track, he had high expectations. Instead he had to deal with an unforeseen situation, he fell five times. 

“He has had a breakdown, he must 🔴be understood and respected. I hope to find him soon as an opponent.”

Domenica🍒li is spearheading Ducati’s current era of brilliance.

“Passion, performance and family,” he said of tꦆhe Italian m🐭anufacturer who crowned Francesco Bagnaia as their first MotoGP champion since 2007 last year. 

“Because in here they feel like they 🦋are part of a family.”

He did not expect to be outp🔯erforming ridꦺers from Honda and Yamaha so conclusively.

“No. We knew w🎐e hꦕad a strong factory squad,” he said. 

“As are our customer teams. We took a step forwar🍨d, but the others were missing.

“I thought Marquez and Fabio Quartararo would be o𝐆ur rivals, but instead they weren't even able to go as fast as lౠast year. 

“Even Aprilia performed less than ꦍwhat it had shown in the t💎ests. Only KTM has a great season.”

Mot꧃oGP are considering amending the concessions rules to aid Honda🗹 and Yamaha.

"Mixed sensations🧸🐬,” was Domenicali’s reaction. 

“We too are interest♔ed in a competitive championship with many manufacturers pre♏sent. 

“There is no closure in principle in re-evaluati💃ng the concession system. 

“The important thing is toꦛ do it with balance, otherwise it would be too easy. 

“In some ways it is also a recognition of the extraordinary work of Ducat🦄i. We are in favour of a spectacular championship that generates interest.”

Bagnaia currently leads the 💖MotoGP standings - and could tie up a second consecutive title.

“It is a continuous process of improvement, it is n💜ot a step from one yea♓r to another,” Domenicali said. 

“Go from mistakes and lessons. Pecco pro🌱ved it a𒆙t the Sachsenring, ‘settling’ for second place.

“He is always generous but he is more aware, and🍃 he has a team behind him capable of supporting him.”

Enea Bastiaꦺnini’s first year as a factory Ducati rider has been ruined by injury and the intense competition for the best bike on the grid has resulted in speculation that his team could look elsewhere for 2024.

Domenicali backed Bastianini: “Full trust in Enea and in his performance. Last year he won four 𝓡races. It's hard to stay out and immediately find the same level as before. No change in sight."
