🔥 last news: an important update on the start of Bagnaia has just dried! Alex Marquez will join Marc Marquez in Ducati. Marc Marquez also expressed himself in support of this decision, making Bagnaia angry.
The world of MotoGP has been shaken by a stunning revelation that shook the paddock. An uncertain update on the uncertain start of Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia in the 2025 season sparked intense speculations, while the confirmation of the collaboration of Alex Marquez with his brother Marc Marquez in Ducati threw petrol on the fire. The explosive news, combined with Marc Marquez’s public approval, would have left Furioso Bagnaia, preparing the ground for a dramatic reckon during the season.
The 2025 season of the MotoGP has already been a roller coaster, with unexpected twists and turns and heated rivalries to dominate the titles of the newspapers. Bagnaia, two times world champion and Golden Boy of Ducati, was expected to lead the charge to the Italian company. However, his season was far from quiet. Sources close to the team revealed that Bagnaia struggled to find the rhythm that allowed him to win the title for the second time in 2022 and 2023 The trapped update suggests that the difficulties of Bagnaia derive from the difficulties of adaptation to the latest generation Ducati, with experts who report problems with the behavior of the front of the bike. These difficulties left him with 20 points late from Alex Marquez in the standings, with Marc Marquez on the heels only one point from his brother.
The real bomb, however, is the confirmation that Alex Marquez will join forces with Marc Marquez in the official Ducati team, in an operation that has been planned behind closed doors. Alex, currently riding Gresini Racing, was a revelation this season, showing constancy and speed that have captured the attention of the ducati leaders. His victory in Jerez, who marked the 22nd consecutive victory in a Grand Prix for Ducati, equaling the historic Honda record, consolidated his candidacy for an official saddle. The decision to bring Alex to the team together with his brother Marc, who dominated with seven wins in the first eight GPs of 2025, is seen as a strategic move to strengthen Ducati’s domain. The Marquez brothers, with their combined talent and their strong competitive spirit, are ready to create a formidable partnership that could redefine the future of the team.
Marc Marquez, who never escapes the spotlight, has openly supported the passage of his brother to the official team. In a recent interview, he praised Alex’s constancy and growth, stating: “Alex has earned this opportunity. He has shown that he can compete at the highest levels and, together, we can push Ducati towards new goals”. Marc’s comments, despite being supported by his brother, would have irritated Bagnaia. Sources inside the Ducati suggest that the Italian pilot feels aside by the attention of the team on the Marquez brothers. Bagnaia, which was the face of Ducati’s recent success, is said to be frustrated by changes in the dynamics within the box. The tension between him and Marc, already palpable due to their clashes on the track, has now turned into a personal fracture, with Bagnaia, apparently, irritated by Marc’s public support to the promotion of Alex.
The implications of this development are of vast scope. For Ducati, the decision to unite the Marquez brothers is a bold bet. While strengthening their training, he risks alienating Bagnaia, whose experience and proven world championship remain precious. The team management, led by Gigi Dall’Igna and Claudio Domenicali, will have to navigate with caution in these agitated waters to maintain harmony inside the team. In the meantime, the MotoGP paddock is full of speculations on the next Bagnaia move. Some X posts have even suggested that it could take into consideration a surprise passage in Yamaha or the potential transition of VR46 to the Japanese company, although these items remain unconfirmed.
While the MotoGP circus heads to Le Mans for the France Grand Prix, all eyes will be focused on Ducati’s star team. The lightning rise of Alex Marquez, the tireless search for another title by Marc and Bagnaia’s struggle to regain his form promise an unprecedented show. The trapped update has bare the cracks in the Dream Team Ducati and, with the tensions that hatch, the stage is ready for a decisive battle for the season. Will Bagnaia be able to overcome the drama to silence its detractors or the alliance of the Marquez brothers will prove to be unstoppable? One thing is certain: MotoGP fans will find themselves in an unbridled race.
