Marc Marquez and Ducati have reshaped MotoGP history, with the former partnering for the 2025 season. Ducati's struggle to conquer Marquez was exposed by a pivot in 2023, when Marquez broke ties with the Honda project and took a Gresini satellite Ducati seat instead of pushing for factory machinery. This decision cost Fabio Di Giannantonio his career, as he was stranded in a new home and expected to keep his seat. However, Diggia fought hard, delivering a breakout podium at Phillip Island and a maiden victory in Qatar, saving his career and landing a VR46 seat for 2025. Today, Diggia is fifth in the championship and Ducati may consider him a future factory teammate for Marquez in 2027.
