Marc Marquez has recently clarified his 2024 plans, which involve joining the Gresini satellite team with Ducati, alongside his brother Alex as a teammate. However, as soon as this news settled, discussions about 2025 began, ignited by his younger brother, Alex. Are the strategic moves already in motion?

Marc Marquez, leaving his golden status as an official Honda rider, has chosen to become a private rider for Gresini, but with a Ducati. At the age of 30, the eight-time world champion still possesses the spirit of a maverick, joining the ranks of a commando unit. Or perhaps he’s a strategist, taking a step back to leap forward even stronger.

His brother, Alex Marquez, further speculates about a potential retirement if Marc doesn’t find satisfaction in the upcoming 2024 season. “We’ll see if he extends his contract beyond 2024,” Alex commented on Autosport. “It seems he has a contract until next season, so we’ll see if he still enjoys it. To me, he’s very smart. He told me, ‘If I’m not having fun, I’ll retire.’ He’s currently considering this option.”

Alex added, “He wants to see if he still enjoys it, if he can still be fast after his injuries. I have no doubts, but he does, and he has every reason to have them. I’m sure that even in Valencia, with just one day, he’ll have a lot of fun: these thoughts will vanish quickly.”

However, Simon Crafar on motogp.com provides another perspective on Marc’s decision, suggesting it’s a strategic move. “All contracts are up for renewal at the end of next year. So, by mid-year, everyone is talking seriously. If Honda offers something, he can return with all he’s learned from Ducati. He’s free to talk to all manufacturers. And all have available spots. He’s positioned himself powerfully for the following year.” Crafar also highlighted that Marquez had the opportunity to join Pramac for a two-year contract but chose a one-year option with Gresini, precisely to keep his options open.

Marc Marquez’s decision, whether driven by passion or strategy, will undoubtedly shape the future of MotoGP.
