Marc Marquez has shaken up Ducati's internal affairs after a series of inappropriate statements, increasingly attracting the attention of high-level agencies and the press.

MotoGP is entering a new era of rivalries and internal strategies, with the arrival of Marc Marquez to the Ducati team, an event that promises to shake up the balance within the Italian motorcycle manufacturer. After years of dominance with Honda, and a period of physical recovery, Marquez is ready to write a new chapter in his career, but this time not as an outsider, but as one of the main protagonists within the Ducati Factory Team. The 2025 season promises to be a real test for Ducati, which will have to face an unprecedented challenge: how to manage two world-class riders with contrasting ambitions and equally large egos?

Marc Marquez has always been synonymous with audacity and ambition. After winning six world titles with Honda, his career seemed destined to experience a downward spiral due to numerous injuries that kept him away from the track for a long time. In 2024, after a difficult physical recovery, Marquez returned to shine, but Honda, unfortunately, was unable to provide him with a competitive bike to return to the top. Thus, Marquez made a bold move, leaving Honda to join the Ducati team, a change that surprised many, but which could represent a resurrection in his career.

Ducati, with its Desmosedici GP, is now considered the fastest bike on the grid. Marquez immediately found the right feeling with the bike, managing to win three races and taking an impressive third place in the final championship standings, demonstrating his innate talent and his ability to adapt quickly. This return to competitiveness earned him a promotion to the official Ducati team for the 2025 season, a sign that the Italian manufacturer strongly believes in his potential.

Marquez’s arrival at Ducati is set to change the balance within the team. Francesco Bagnaia, reigning world champion and protagonist of Ducati’s historic double of titles in 2023 and 2024, now finds himself having to face a new challenger of great value. His status as leader of the team is put to the test by the entry of Marquez, a rider who has won six world championships and who has led Honda to the top for years.

Marquez, in fact, is not just a new teammate, but a real internal rival. With Ducati providing him with the same bike as Bagnaia, the battle will not be limited to a simple comparison between the riders, but will also involve the team’s strategy. Ducati has always tried to promote a meritocratic philosophy, where internal competition translates into an improvement in the overall performance of the team. However, the competition between two riders of such caliber could put this philosophy to the test, with potential conflicts of egos and ambitions.

For Francesco Bagnaia, 2025 will not only be a year to defend his title, but also a fight to maintain his position as a top rider within the Ducati team. It will not be easy for him, considering that Marquez is not only a rider with great experience, but one who is hungry for revenge and has a burning desire to regain the top of MotoGP. Bagnaia will have to face the challenge not only on a technical level, but also on a psychological level, having to maintain internal harmony in the team and above all leadership in the garage.

Ducati, which has so far successfully managed multiple riders in its satellite and factory teams, will now have to find the right balance to prevent the rivalry between Bagnaia and Marquez from becoming too destructive. The possibility that the competition between the two riders will compromise the unity of the team is high, and this could threaten the stability of the Ducati project, which has brought the team success in recent years.

The 2025 season promises to be one of the most exciting in MotoGP history. Marquez’s return to Ducati could be the launch pad for a new era of dominance, but also a test bench for Ducati. The internal battle between Marquez and Bagnaia could not only determine the world champion, but also redefine the way teams approach internal competition.

The fans are ready for a 2025 that promises to provide strong emotions. Will Marquez be able to conquer the title with Ducati and write a new chapter in his legendary career? Or will Bagnaia consolidate his status as leader and keep Ducati at the top? The answer to these questions is not only a question of performance on the track, but of how these two titans will be able to manage internal rivalries and team dynamics. MotoGP 2025 is ready to rewrite the history of motorcycling.
