Key Ducati figure’s clear stance on Marc Marquez v Pecco Bagnaia treatment
Marc Marquez and Pecco Bagn🐭aia's treatment within Ducati garage discussed

A crucial aide to both Marc Marquez and Francesc🦋o Bagnaia🌳 vows to provide equal treatment this season.
Manuel Poggꦦiali is Ducati’s rider coach who splits his time between the factory gar🍸age and Gresini’s - although he knows Marquez and Bagnaia take priority.
He insists that any competition between Ducati’s official riders will b൩e on equal terms.
“On paper it is the most successful team in the circus: Marc's 🃏8 world championships and Pecco's 3 are certainly numbers that no other team has with it,” Poggiali told .
“But this is thᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚe past, we are interested in the present, we want to win this title.
“For our part, it is important to try to manage both riders in the best possible way, to🦂 give both the same treatment, obviously the same m🎐aterial and to put both in the best personal conditions to be able to do their best.
“As a technicalඣ staff and team it𝐆 is the most important thing.”
The atmosphere within the Ducati garage will be under 🌸constant surveill💫ance this season.
Marquez andღ Bagnaia will both want the 2025 MotoGP championship for themselves.
Whether𒊎 their desire spills over remai꧙ns to be seen.
“I think he will be fine,” Poggiali insists about Marquez joining the ♎factory team.
“I think both Pecco and Marc are two really fast riders, two talents and champio𝔍ns, as they have shown.
“Some more or less in terms of qualifications, partly for possibilities 🎃and years of exper꧋ience.
“However, I believe that ꧅both are formidable riders, true 🍎champions: being able to work with them will only be a privilege.
“Beyond everything that can rཧevolve around, there is only one goal in Ducati and whoever is better will ge🎶t it.”
Marquez and Bagnaia - and VR46’s Fabio di Giannantonio ♋- will be in possession of the GP25, expected to be MotoGP’s best bike this year.
Marque♌z must make the adapt💞ion from a year-old Ducati to its latest version.
But with powerful eq𒀰uipment at their disposal, Marquez and Bagnaia are arguably the favourites for the title.
Champion Jorge Maꦯrtin must defend his title while adjusting to the Apri💝lia factory garage.
