MotoGP, Kevin Schwantz: “The Ducati war will rage with Marquez and Bagnaia, but it’s good for the show”

MotoGP legend and 500 1993cc World Champion Kevin Schwantz has warned Pecco Bagnaia that next season promises to be even more intense with the arrival of Marc Marquez at the official Ducati team. The Spaniard, who won the battle for the 2025 factory seat, is set to become Bagnaia’s teammate, forming an explosive duo that promises to shake up the competition.

« It will definitely be a great team, that’s for sure., ” said Schwantz on crash.net. ” Having these two drivers in the same box? What effect will that have on the two drivers who are both equally fast? It will be interesting. This will continue to strengthen Ducati and Ducati’s advantage. They will still have satellite motorcycles as well..”

The current season is already intense, with Jorge Martin of the team Pramac leading the championship ahead of this weekend’s Indonesian round. But bagnaia, his current teammate Enea Bastianini et Marc Marquez, who runs for Gresini, remain in the race and do not intend to be left behind.

Kevin Schwantz: “ Marc Marquez will push Pecco Bagnaia every weekend »
« The competition between Marc and Pecco will certainly continue next season, ” asserted Schwantz. ” The first person you don’t want to beat is your teammate. It’s hard to have a good teammate unless they’re far away from beating you! » Schwantz thus underlines the intensity of the internal rivalry which will be created within the team Ducati.

To bagnaia, the arrival of Marquez represents an additional challenge, but also an opportunity to measure yourself against one of the best drivers in history. Enea Bastianini has been a good competitor for Bagnaia in places, but I think Marquez will push him every weekend, ” added Schwantz. With two world champions under the same roof, the team Ducati is set to experience a thrilling 2025 season, where every practice session and every race will be the scene of this high-level rivalry.

The dynamics of this star-studded team could well redefine the competition, strengthening the armada of Ducati while offering fans of the MotoGP an unparalleled spectacle. One thing is certain: the arrival of Marquez next to bagnaia promises to add an extra dose of suspense and rivalry to a season that already promises to be explosive. And the American is not mistaken: ” it’s good for the show »…
