Ducati is committed to deciding around the Italian Grand Prix who will be Francesco Bagnaia's team-mate in the factory team from next year, with both Marc Marquez and Jorge Martin confident that their strengths will help them end up wearing red...
Let's be upfront about it and admit that the story is slightly altered. While it is true that the first part of the equation must be cleared up by Ducati, the problem will not be completely solved until the chosen rider signs the contract. Of the three who started the race for that second factory Ducati, Enea Bastianini has been left behind, a circumstance that places Martin and Marquez in the two corners of the ring.
In the same garage, there is the certainty that a Marquez victory at Mugello this weekend would complicate in a rather decisive way Martin's continuity at Ducati, given that he himself has made it clear that he only contemplates staying with the Borgo Panigale company if it is in factory overalls. An understandable scenario if we take into account that the marque already preferred Bastianini over Martin the last time it had to choose.
