Marc Marquez is walking into the 2025 MotoGP season with his best chance to win a championship of the decade.

The Spaniard has joined Ducati to chase an elusive seventh riders’ championship after years languishing in the midfield with Honda.

Marquez managed to take three victories on a one-year-old bike with Gresini last year, proving he still has the potential to lead from the front.

Stepping onto the most dominant bike in the sport is only going to boost his hopes of further MotoGP success. The only man in his way is new teammate Francesco Bagnaia.

Peter Bom thinks Bagnaia is ‘untouchable’ but he’s coming up against one of the legends of the sport with a lot of wisdom and experience at the back end of his career.

Marquez may be playing ‘mind games’ with Bagnaia already though and looked to have some impressive pace at pre-season testing.

Marc Marquez has made a ‘natural’ change to his seating position for 2025 MotoGP season

Ducati opted against homologating their new GP25 engine for the next two years ahead of an engine freeze after they failed to perfect their engine braking at testing.

Instead, they’re riding a sort of ‘GP24.9’ machine. It won’t be much of a problem that they’re running with a lot of older specification components considering how dominant they were.

Marquez is faster than Bagnaia heading into the Grand Prix of Thailand according to Franco Morbidelli, who believes the six-time champion is already a little ahead of everybody.

Peter Bom has noticed a change from the Spaniard ahead of the 2025 season, perhaps as part of his adaptation to a factory bike.

“Other changes for Marquez are that he seems to be sitting differently from last year,” he posted on X (formerly known as Twitter). “His arms seem a little less stretched and overall it looks more natural.”
