Dall’Igna’s words, given to , are further confirmation that the eight-time world champion will indeed walk out of Hond🎃a and join younger br𓄧other Alex at Gresini next season.

The Italian added that negotiating an early exit from a big-money Repsol Honda deal just to ride a year-old Desmosedici is also a sign of how much Marquez wants even an ‘unofficial’𝓀 Ducati.

“Marc was one of the strongest riders in history. So the f🌞act that he strongly wants to get on a Ducati can only be pleasing🐭. He has decided to leave Honda for an unofficial Ducati: all the more this underlines the fact that he wants our bike,” Dall’Igna said.

“This 🀅is what I heard, but clearly there isn't an official announcement [abo♋ut the Gresini deal] yet,” Dall’Igna added. “I think there are a lot of things to do and I think it's a complicated contract to break [with Honda], in the event that he wants to break it.

“But it seems to me 🅘that these are the de🗹clarations made. From our point of view they are pleasing.”

The only potential🥃 downside for Ducati is if the 🌠presence of Marquez destabilises the other Desmosedici riders.

“There is certainly a concern that he could somehow break some balance that exists within all the Ducati teams. But this will eventually be part o🔜f the gam🔥e and it will be up to us to be good at managing the situation.”

Ducati ri🗹ders Francesco Bagnaia (factory), Jorge Martin(Pramac) and Marco Bezzecchi (VR46) are currently filling the top three places in the world championship standings.
