Three top MotoGP riders; Marquez, Quartararo and Vinales refuse to join Ducati, why?

Bologna, runganSport – New Mission Team Winnow Ducati MotoGP gets one racer for the upcoming 2021 season, he is an Australian rider, Jack Miller, which climbed to the manufacturer team from the Pramac Racing Satellite team.

While one other slot has so far not been settled.

Actually Ducati had contacted several big names, unfortunately many of them refused Ducati’s offer, why?

Piahk Ducati through his MotoGP Sports Director, Paolo Ciabatti explaining that they have tried very hard to be able to get the desired new strong driver, this is a form of anticipation if their main rider, Dovi chose to go to another team. The three top names include; Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda), Fabio Quartararo (Petronas Yamaha SRT), and Maverick Vinales (Monster Energy Yamaha).

The three top riders rejected Ducati with their respective reasons, starting from Quartararo who was unwilling to defend Ducati because he considered joining the Yamaha factory team as the most reasonable option for him.

“Quartararo is a difficult target to achieve because he wants to stay on Yamaha. At the age of 20, that’s a reasonable choice.

Staying on a motorbike that made him look amazing on his MotoGP debut was a priority, ” revealed Ciabatti in an interview with GPOne.

Then with Vinales, who also failed after Yamaha announced the Spanish hero as the team leader, replacing Valentino Rossi starting next season.

As information, Rossi is currently still the main rider at Yamaha and will be his final year with the official team.

“With Vinales, it has a different story. He got a direct offer from Japan, who offered him to be the first racer. After a few years in the shadow of Rossi, he got extraordinary motivation, ” continued Ciabatti explains.

Then what about the defending world champions, why Ducati also failed to convince Marquez.

“It’s not true that we are considered to have never been in contact with Marquez. In fact, Marquez himself immediately told Ducati that his priority was to stay with Honda.

Honda protects Marquez with a salary if not 20 million euros or 15 million euros per year. There is little we can do financially against Honda, ” thereby the Italian man.

We look forward to it. (DN / eV)
