But both for the 2025 season Martin And Pramac separates from Ducati. The previous step makes it up Aprilia After Ducati felt more supportive of the VR46 team when the latter entered their partnership with Yamaha
Martin was meant to take the second factory Ducati bike next to the Bagnaia for 2025, but later Mark Marquez He rejected a move to Pramak, the seat of the six-time champion.
Six-time champion Marc Marquez ‘pulled the beast’ is why George Martin lost to Ducati.
Martin jumped at the chance to sign with Aprilia After finding out that Marquez would be moving from the satellite Gresini team to the factory Ducati team.
Pramac rider performance director Fonsi Nieto has no feelings for leaving Martin Pramac For Aprilia, instead, the team lauded its efforts for 2024 when it won the riders’ title and finished second in the teams’ championship.
It wasn’t an easy decision for Nieto to lose Ducati Martin, but he dealt with it. Europa PressMarquez said he had a ‘monstrous gut’ that the team couldn’t ignore.
“Ducati are on a high at the moment and will continue to fight to win. But of course it was not easy for them to lose a world champion rider like George.
But we’re talking about Marc Marquez, a six-time world champion with a beastly talent. Nieto admitted that “the choice of Marc Marquez was probably understandable” because “Marc should always be counted on” and argued that he was “one of the best riders in history”.
He added: “Ever since he made the circuit in the World Championships, he was always considered for the trophy. It will be a good battle between ‘Peco’ Bagnaia and him with the Ducatis, and I hope George is also fighting to win with them.
Can Marc Marquez challenge for a seventh title in 2025?
Marquez finished third in the 2024 Riders’ Championship with Championship Martin and 2025 team-mate Bagnaia on a Ducati bike. The Spaniard won three races and took nine podiums, but finished 116 points short of the title.
Joining the factory Ducati team for 2025, Marquez has the best chance of finishing seventh in the premier class after a difficult spell with Honda.
The factory Ducati team has a seemingly unstoppable partnership this season in Marquez and Bagania – the former a six-time champion, the latter winning 11 races last season and missing out on the title to Martin.
The duo will no doubt be challenging for the title next season, and Marquez will be looking to put his dominance in the gates early.
