Bottom post of the previous page:
Ducati chief Giga Dall’Igna believes that six-time MotoGP champion Marc Marquez has indeed decided to leave Honda for Gresini Racing.I believe he will too.... fact is until Marc and Honda confirm it it is just 'make' believe and regardless of what we might feel it aint over until contracts are signed and the main parties CONFIRM it.
Dall’Igna did later seem to realise he had perhaps been overly confident, and reverted to a lower key nothing is signed yet stance, though, pointed out that the move has not been confirmed, when he issued a follow-up few words on the matter.
“This is what I heard, clearly there is no official announcement yet,” he added.
Speculation has been rife about Marc's future for months and he has done nothing to try and shut it down, notwithstanding that he has a year to run on his contract with Honda.
Marquez even admitted that a first Grand Prix podium in almost 12 months, when he finished third in the last 24 hours at Japan’s Motegi, was a “super strange” feeling.
It now appears all the more likely that he is leaving the former MotoGP powerhouse of Honda for the fourth-string Ducati team, to ride a year-old Desmosedici motorcycle,. Ducati seem happy with the situation, and believe they have Marquez, but nothing is yet set in concrete or at a confirmation status..
I guessing but would think the facts are agreed but the terms and what money changes hands are the stumbling block.
