Marc Marquez to ride for Gresini Ducati for 2024

Marc Marquez Joins Gresini Racing for the 2024 MotoGP Season

The Gresini Racing MotoGP™ team has heralded a new chapter in its illustrious history with the recent announcement of Marc Marquez's induction into the squad for the 2024 season. This comes on the heels of the Spanish multi-time World Champion's surprising decision to part ways with Honda.

The addition of Marquez to the Gresini lineup signifies a reunion with his brother, Alex, which will undoubtedly serve as a testament to the team's prowess and ambitions in the MotoGP arena. Together, the Marquez brothers will constitute a formidable pairing, amalgamating Marc's vast experience with a satellite team that has already proven its mettle in the premier class since regaining its independent team status.

Speaking on his momentous decision, Marc Marquez said, “Taking this step with Team Gresini is a fresh challenge that I'm eagerly looking forward to. Naturally, stepping away from what has been familiar is never without its apprehensions. However, life occasionally mandates stepping beyond the familiar, pushing oneself to perpetually evolve. While adapting to the new bike will be an essential aspect of this journey, I am confident in the support of Team Gresini. My sincere appreciation goes to Nadia, Carlo, and Michele for the unwavering faith and respect they’ve accorded me.”

For the Gresini Racing Team, this acquisition isn't just about strengthening their lineup but also about the symbolic relevance it carries. Nadia Padovani, Gresini Racing Team Owner, shared her enthusiasm, "This is indeed a monumental juncture for the entire Gresini family. To have someone of Marc Marquez's caliber opting for our team is a testament to our growing stature in the MotoGP landscape. Our rapport with Alex has only strengthened over the past season, and we intend to welcome Marc with the same fervor. We are confident in his capability to showcase his brilliance on the GP23 from the outset."

Padovani also took a moment to express gratitude towards Fabio Di Giannantonio for his valuable contributions, "We are immensely thankful to Fabio Di Giannantonio for his unwavering professionalism. While paths diverge, our best wishes remain with him for a prosperous continuation of his illustrious career."

The upcoming 2024 season promises heightened excitement, and with the Marquez brothers racing side by side for Gresini, it's a spectacle fans worldwide will eagerly anticipate.
