The eight-time grand prix world champion only signed a one-year deal with Gresini for the 2024 season and is a key piece of the rider market for next year.
While Ducati management has publicly never ruled out the possibility of Marquez being signed by the manufacturer in 2025, a new contract for reigning double world champion Francesco Bagnaia and Moto2 star Fermin Aldeguer have taken two factory Desmosedicis off the table.
Though the rider market is set to move pretty quickly in 2024, Marquez says he is just focused on his own season for the time being and says more opportunities will present themselves if he provides good results on-track.
“Of course, my situation is completely different than in the past,” he said when asked about his future on Thursday ahead of the Portuguese Grand Prix.
“In the past in December I signed already the contract for the next year. Right now, I have no rush.
“I mean, I just want to concentrate on myself, just try to do my best on the race track.
“And I know that if I enjoy it and I’m faster I will have more possibilities to choose a seat.
