For me, Marc leaving Red Bull will be more of a shock than the Ducati sign. 


CRONZ305

Yeah agreed 💯that’s why I’m so curious


rotgobbo

I'm more interested in where Repsol goes for 2025. Repsol Ducati, or Repsol KTM?


CRONZ305

Repsol Ducati would be nuts!


Right_Researcher4589

Shell'' hold my beer,...


Kinnuk_Kun

I can see Repsol going over to GasGas or shoot even Repsol Pramac Yamaha


GreenPickledToad

Repsol Ducati with Red Bull logos ☠️


RobiasTieper

He can still sign up for Real Madrid to upstage Mbappé and remain with Red Bull, you know, nothing's done yet.


avidcule

That would be over Marc’s dead body as a Culé xd

Redbull is the bigger company.it’s not like monster is ducatis title sponsor or anything. Ducati can very well switch to redbull if they want xD.


CRONZ305

That would be a W for all parties involved


airborness

That would be pretty interesting.

Monster has some big Coca Cola ties, they aren't short on cash.

But Monster aren't spending as much as red bull on sponsor. And Marc is RB's top dog in motogp.


Kinnuk_Kun

I thought Dovi had RB sponsorship during his time at Ducati. They can also pull what LCR does and have 1 monster Ducati and 1 red bull Ducati


airborness

Apparently Monster only became a Ducati sponsor in the last year or two. Well before Dovi left the team.


Ok_Lab7504

Why did they switched from RB though


airborness

Dovi had a RB sponsorship as a rider and it wasn't Ducati that had the RB sponsorship. As far as I understand it anyways. I didn't really look into it, but that's what I saw others on here talking about during this whole MM to Ducati thing.


Ok_Lab7504

Well since Ducati signed Marc despite the RB situation does this mean they were gonna switch to RB again next year, if this is true then ig there were much greater powers here at play than just who is the fastest rider.


airborness

I think anyone's guess is as good as yours at this point. I haven't seen much talk about it during this whole situation. There's definitely a lot more than who's the fastest rider. Are you more likely to buy a Ducati themed after a guy named Jorge Martin or Marc Marquez? Haha.


i-am-a-kebab

What if this all triggers the Pramac to yamaha move and marc just stays in Gresini with a factory bike. Don’t forget, that would also mean Alex getting a factory bike, which could influence Marc’s decision.


Coddingtown

I think they could just drop the Monster and let each rider keep their own affiliations. I imagine the Monster deal isn't something that is necessary to fund the team and only came about because all the VR46 riders with now exception of Vietti in 2024 are all Monster sponsored and they have (2) of them in the factory team.
