Marc Marquez inquired whether joining forces with Pedro Acosta on KTM bikes was a feasible scenario…
Marc Marquez faced intense questioning regarding the possibility of joining KTM, prior to finalizing his agreement with Ducati.
Marquez has inked a deal to join Ducati's premier team for the 2025 and 2026 seasons, securing access to top-tier bikes and extra backing.
Prior to securing victory in the thrilling motorcycle race against Jorge Martin for the prized motorcycle, KTM was whispered to be a potential option.
Marquez was questioned about the feasibility of creating an ideal team with Pedro Acosta under the KTM banner.
Speaking to AS, he mentioned, "Due to the respect I have for the brands involved, I won't disclose what Plan B or Plan C entails.
"I made it unmistakably clear that my top choice was a Ducati."
"Given that I underwent a significant transformation last year, the idea of embracing yet another substantial shift initially didn't appeal to me.
"I aimed to persist in my current state or shift towards crimson."
"I had two choices, and I managed to secure the one that appealed to me the most, the superior option."
Nonetheless, Marquez had high praise for Acosta, who might become a competitor in the future.
Acosta has effortlessly moved up to the top tier this season, and in 2025, he will advance from the Tech3 GASGAS squad to become a part of KTM's official team.
Marquez was questioned about which MotoGP competitor he looks up to and believes will have a significant career ahead.
"He has consistently been my answer: Pedro Acosta," he replied.
"Everyone is showing up and moving quickly."
Pecco and Martin have their approach, yet Pedro Acosta comes in and brings a fresh perspective.
Currently, he does not yet have the expertise to manage every circumstance.
"Yet, he does show up and engage in various activities."
"He has the potential to spend several years racing in MotoGP."
Does Marquez recognize a reflection of his own abilities in the emerging star?
"Absolutely," he agreed.
Upon entering MotoGP, I was greeted by the presence of Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, and Dani Pedrosa.
"Pedro Acosta is now the person who, through patience and tranquility, is expected to succeed greatly."
In the upcoming season, Marquez and Acosta will transition from being teammates to competing against each other as factory adversaries.
Potentially, this could even decide the outcome of the championship.
