According to Spanish media, the eight-time world champion is in contact with the Gresini team. He could sign with the Italian team for the 2024 season and join his brother Alex Marquez. Nothing is 100% certain yet, but Gresini has already made it clear that she could part ways with Fabio Digiannantonio. The Italian is very far from his Spanish teammate and cannot perform with the bike. In the World Drivers’ Championship, he occupies 16th place with only 45 points.
