Marc Marquez Finds Harmony in Ducati’s GP23: No Demands, Just Performance

Marc Marquez says he is satisfied with the Ducati setup and has no further demands. "Marc is aware of what is available to him and isn't requesting additional changes."

According to Ducati, Marc Marquez is not requesting any changes to his GP23.

Throughout the season, the strength of Ducati's 2024 motorcycle has been evident, especially through the performances of championship hopefuls Jorge Martin and Pecco Bagnaia.

This implies that despite Marquez's revitalized talent, he has been limited by using a motorcycle from the previous year.

However, Davide Tardozzi promptly clarified that Marquez is not asking Ducati for any extra help.

Ducati's team manager, Tardozzi, mentioned to TNT Sports that this year he has the freedom to perform at his highest level on the racetrack.

The contract includes all the technical features. Marc is aware of what is available to him and does not request anything additional.

"Marc is proving to be a skilled rider. He understands what he possesses and is making the most of it without demanding anything additional."

Last weekend at Mandalika, Marquez's GP23 caught fire during the Indonesian MotoGP, stopping him from completing the race while he was competing for a spot on the podium.

This puts him 78 points behind Martin from Pramac, who currently leads the championship, as they head into this weekend's Japanese MotoGP at Motegi.

His achievements have secured him a spot on the 2025 factory Ducati team, where he will join Bagnaia.

Tardozzi emphasized that they believe and are optimistic that the relationship between the two will be positive.

Gigi, Mauro, the engineers, and I are all dedicated to maintaining the team's positive atmosphere as it has been over the last few years.

"We have confidence that all will turn out well."

During the practice session at Mandalika, Gigi Dall’Igna couldn't help but laugh as Marquez offered Bagnaia a ride back to the pits after the MotoGP champion's bike ran out of gas.

It is yet to be determined if their relationship will stay as friendly when the title is on the line.

"For the upcoming season, we have two smart individuals. They're not just quick, but also clever," stated Tardozzi.

"They understand that collaborating will allow them to effectively enhance the 2025 bike."

Ultimately, the true measure of speed will be determined by the race track. However, both competitors are expected to be extremely quick.
