The boss of Pramac has questioned whether168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Marc Marquez has been given any “guarantees” by Ducati.

Marquez has swapped Honda for Ducati by linking up with satellite team Gresini Racing, a move which could reinvigorate his168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: MotoGP title aspirations.

But his decision to sign a one-year deal with one of the smaller teams on the grid has already caused speculation a♛bout what 𝕴might come next.

Paolo Campinoti of Pramac Racing was questioned about a “secret agreement with Marqu𝐆ez” that would reunite him with his old team Honda.

“On𝔉 the other hand, I see Marquez more in the official Ducati,ඣ” Campinoti replied to .

“I don't th🔴ink he would have made a move like this if he hadn't received guarantees, even if I don't know what they might be.

“But doing a year like this in a satellite team with 🐠💧the previous year's bike, just to do that, leaves me perplexed."

Asked if it would have made sense for Pramac to recr🍎uit Marquez, Campinoti said: “Well, I know, but he didn't come…”

Pramac were heavily linked with♓ signing Marquez and could have offered a latest-spec Ducati to him.

But they reportedly also wanted a two-year deal which scupp꧂ered any possi🍰ble agreement.

The one-year Gresini con♛tract that Marquez signed means that he (and most riders on the 2024 grid) can begin plotting their 2꧃025 moves from this summer.

If Marquez꧅ impresses in 💙his first half-a-season on a GP23, Ducati may consider promoting him into their factory team even if it represents a deviation from the strategy which has restored them to the top of MotoGP.

The factory Ducati team have previously appeared lukewarm a🦹bout the possib🌠ility of welcoming Marquez, but his first months at the independent Gresini team could help to change their minds.

Honda - who will spend their year without Marquez making behind-the-scenes changes and trying to take advantage of the new concessions rul🥀e - have been linked with tempting their star man back home, if they can promise a competitive 2025 bike.

KTM continue to lurk in the background for Marquez as they share Red Bull with him as an i🅰nfluential sponsor.
