After weeks of rumour and the mutual separation from Honda, it is now confirmed that the eight-time world champion will join Nadia Padovani’s team
The news had been in the air for a while but has finally been made official this morning - Marc Marquez will race with the Gresini Racing team’s Ducati Desmosedici in 2024, joining brother Alex in the garage.
After more than a decade with the factory Honda team, this move marks a dramatic change for the Spaniard, who seeks the kind of competitiveness that will once again allow him to fight for victory every weekend.
“I’m excited about this new challenge. It wasn’t an easy decision because it’s a big change in every way. But sometimes in life, it’s important to get out of your comfort zone and put yourself through the paces in order to keep growing. Bike-chance-wise, I know I will have to adapt my riding style to a few things, and it won’t be easy. But I’m also sure that the whole Team Gresini will help me a lot. I can’t wait to get to know the team and start working with them. I’d like to thank Nadia, Carlo and Michele for the trust and respect they showed me.”
