Marc Marquez says he will not 'run for free' at the Gresini MotoGP squad in 2024, in response to comments made by Ducati to the contrary earlier this week.
In an interview Italian outlet moto.it, Ducati sporting director Paolo Ciabatti said it was his understanding that Marquez would be 'racing on practically zero contract', which is to say without a salary. Marquez announced after the Japanese Grand Prix that he would be breaking his current contract with Honda a year early, with his move to Gresini Ducati for 2024 confirmed on the eve of the Indonesian GP.
'Whenever I have decided I have done it that way and I will continue to do so until I retire. 'If later when I retire, I'll look for a different life, we'll see. But for now, the track is where I want to enjoy myself, and that's where you can see who's worth it and who's not.' It is not inconceivable that Marquez could race without a salary from Gresini in 2024, with money from personal sponsorship and any potential results bonuses ensuring he will still earn.
