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

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

But Domenicali told : “These things are nice because they make people talk, like in the sports b𝄹a💮r. 

“But I think it's not the right thing⭕ for us. 

“We have�🍨� an amazing group of riders that we have raised ourselves. 

“Francesco Bagnaia is a crazy talent, he's underestimated, he still makes some mistakes but h🧔𒁏e's there. 

“If he ♍hadn't made a mistake we would have already talked about [anotherᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ] championship.

“But there is not only Pecco, we a�ജ�lso have Enea Bastianini, Jorge Martin, many young people who we are following. 

“Marquez is an ex🦩traordinary talent, he doesn't have to prove anything toꦕ anyone. 

“But Ducati draws 🐲𓃲its strength from the way we work with our riders. 

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

Gigi Dall’Igna, Ducati’s general manager, previously gave a jovial answer: “I don’t t﷽hink Marc would agree to go to an unofficial team.” 

Howeꦆver, Honda’s inability to deliver machinery that could propel ꧅Marquez to another championship is the root cause of speculation about his future.

He is now aged 30, and despite his ongoing brilliance, time is r♋unning out.

His injury record is also mounting. Despite enteri🦩ng 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-up 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 l💝ast of Marquez’s current contract which is the most lucrative in MotoGP today.

Honda must either fork out another big-money deal for a rider who is getting older, and whose injur💝ies ar൩e regularly keeping him sidelined.

Or, the unthinkable happens, and Marqu𓄧ez finds a new home for 2025.
