It is now truly official, Marc Marquez has signed with Gresini Racing. From next season, the Spanish driver will race with Ducatiand it will be teamed with his brother Alex.
The news, obviously, was expected. There has been speculation for some time that the Spanish rider was negotiating with the Gresini team to race next year with Ducati, even if with a satellite team. A week ago the divorce between Marquez and Honda arrived. At that point all that was missing was the official announcement of the new contract which was arrived today.

Obviously there is great satisfaction on 's partNadia Padovani Gresini talking about a historic moment for her team:
For Gresini Racing it is a historical moment. The fact that Marc Marquez has chosen to race with us next season is great. absolutely fantastic and I'm so happy to be able to make it official. In less than a season we have become very fond of his brother, and in the same way we will welcome Marc, convinced that he has all the potential to be immediately competitive on the Desmosedici GP23.
Great enthusiasm from part of Marc Marquez, well aware of the new challenge he will have to face face in the next season.
I am excited about this new challenge. Is not serious; It was an easy decision because will be a big change in all aspects. Sometimes in life you have to step out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself to continue growing. As for the bike change, I know I'll have to adapt many things in my riding style and it won't be easy. But I am convinced that the whole Gresini Team will help me. Very. I can't wait to meet the team and start working with all of them. I want to thank Nadia, Carlo and Michele for the trust and respect they have shown me.
So, the Spaniard bids farewell to the Honda HRC team with which he won a lot in MotoGP to get on board a Ducati from a satellite team to try to get competitive again. A complex challenge as he himself admitted. Within the team, Marquez will take on the position of Fabio Di Giannantonio whom Gresini thanks for the work done up to now.
Finally, a dutiful thanks to Fabio Di Giannantonio for his professionalism to whom we wish the best for his career.
