The eight-time World Champion will switch to Ducati machinery after ending his 11-year stay with Honda.
The Gresini Family is pleased to announce the arrival of Marc Marquez for the 2024 season. The Spanish rider, a multi-time World Champion, recently announced his separation from Honda and starting next season, he will be the new standard bearer of Gresini Racing MotoGP™ alongside his brother Alex.
The Marquez brothers make a dream pairing, with Marc joining a satellite team that has already shown it belongs with the best since the squad’s return to the status of independent team in the premier class.
Marc Marquez: “I’m excited about this new challenge. It wasn’t an easy decision because it’s a big change in every way. But sometimes in life, it’s important to get out of your comfort zone and put yourself through the paces in order to keep growing. Bike-chance-wise, I know I will have to adapt my riding style to a few things, and it won’t be easy. But I’m also sure that the whole Team Gresini will help me a lot. I can’t wait to get to know the team and start working with them. I’d like to thank Nadia, Carlo and Michele for the trust and respect they showed me.
Nadia Padovani: Gresini Racing Team Owner: “This is a historical moment for the Gresini Family. The fact that Marc Marquez chose to race with us in the upcoming season is absolutely fantastic and I’m extremely happy to be able to make it official. In less than a season we got really close to his brother, and we’ll welcome Marc the same way, as we’re sure he has all the potential to be competitive on the GP23 from the get-go. Last but not least, I would like to thank Fabio Di Giannantonio for his professionalism, and we wish him all the best for the continuation of his career.” – www.motgp.com
