Marc Marquez confirms why he rejected initial Ducati contract clause
“It's simple,” Marc Marquez explained...

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez has shed light on why he didn’t accept an initial contract clause from Ducati.
Marquez will move from Gresini to the fact♓ory Ducati team next ye🅘ar.
Pramac’s Jorge Martin will feature for Aprilia in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2025 MotoGP rider line-up as a result.
But Ducati initially offered Martin the coveted factory seat. But it came with a contractual clause: if Marquez wins this year💦’s championship, he is automatically promoted to the official team at Martin’s expense.
Martin accepted those terms but Marquez did not.
Why?
“It's simple,” he explained to .
“One reason, and the main one, is that, if you have to earn it on the track, you have to have the samꦏ🌌e weapons.
“And now I don't have them.”
Marquez was referring to t🥀he ﷽year-old Ducati that he is currently riding for Gresini.
Martin, and title rivals Pecco Bagnaia and Enea Bastian🐎ini, have latest-spec machinery.
“But it's no excuse,” Marquez said.
“I'm showing that I can be competitive.
“Another thing is that I was very clear that I was not going to change♛ from one satellite team to another.
“And the third point, athletes not only have sports contracts but there are others with spons🍸ors who have followed me throughout my career and a multinational closes i🐬n September for the next two years and cannot wait. It was unfeasible.”
Marquez made it very clear that switching to Pramac (who could have delivered his desire of a GP25) was not acceptable, an unexpected stance which essentially forced Ducati to U-turn on their original decision to give Martin the official bike next y♛ear.
The rest of this y💝ear’s title fight (which is currently led by Martin) will now play out with the subplot of Martin moving to Aprilia, and Marquez moving to the factory Ducati🌠 team, in 2025.
