The date appears to have been set for Marc Marquez’s first time on a Ducati.
He has been given permission to ride his new team’s bike at the postseason Valencia test on November 28,Although Marquez and Honda have confirmed that their 11-year association will come to an end at the end of 2023, he hasn’t yet confirmed his next move which is expected to be Gresini Ducati.But two days after the final round of the MotoGP 2023 season in Valencia, we will see the six-time premier class champion ride a Desmosedici for the first time.

But Valentino Rossi was an infamous exception when Honda would not allow him to jump on a Yamaha until the first day of the next calendar year, depriving him of his first big chance to test a new bike.Related Articles
