Alex Marquez's journey in the MotoGP arena has taken a significant turn as he seals his commitment to Gresini Ducati for the 2024 season. Despite grappling with a series of crashes, on-track encounters, and technical setbacks, Marquez's maiden MotoGP campaign aboard Ducati machinery has showcased his immense potential and undeniable prowess.

The Spanish rider's transition to Ducati machinery has been marked by strong performances that underscore his adaptability. Marquez's mastery over his new bike was particularly evident at Silverstone, where he held off Marco Bezzecchi to seize his inaugural premier-class victory.

Reflecting on the decision to continue with Gresini Ducati, Marquez highlighted his immediate sense of belonging within the team. He stated, "I am super happy to continue next year in the Gresini family. I felt at home from the first day in the box. Always in the first year with a new bike, you struggle more, but I felt at home. It’s better to continue together to be more competitive in 2024."
