Marc Márquez Confirms End to Red Bull Sponsorship Ahead of Ducati MotoGP Move
December 20, 2024 – In a significant move that will reshape the MotoGP landscape, Marc Márquez has officially confirmed the end of his long-standing sponsorship deal with Red Bull. The
announcement comes ahead of his highly anticipated switch to Ducati for the 2025 MotoGP season, marking a new chapter in the Spanish rider’s illustrious career.
Márquez, who has been a dominant force in the premier class since his debut in 2013, has been associated with Red Bull for several years, with the energy drink
giant playing a key role in supporting his success. However, with the 31-year-old preparing for his move from Honda to Ducati, the sponsorship agreement will come to a close, signaling the end of an era.
The decision has been confirmed by both Márquez and Red Bull, who expressed mutual respect and admiration for the partnership. In a statement, Márquez explained that the decision was part of his evolving career, with a focus on new opportunities and challenges ahead.
“I’ve had an incredible journey with Red Bull, and I’m grateful for everything they’ve done for me over the years,” said Márquez. “But as I make this exciting
move to Ducati, it’s time for new beginnings. I look forward to the next chapter of my career and continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible on the track.”
The announcement of Márquez’s move to Ducati has already stirred excitement within the MotoGP community, as fans eagerly await his performance aboard the Desmosedici GP. With a wealth of
experience and an unparalleled winning mentality, the seven-time world champion is expected to be a key contender for the title in the coming seasons.
Red Bull, in turn, expressed their support for Márquez’s decision and wished him all the best in his new venture. “It has been an honor to sponsor Marc and be a part
of his journey in MotoGP,” said a Red Bull spokesperson. “We remain proud of everything he has achieved, and we are excited to see him take on new challenges.”
Márquez’s departure from Red Bull will likely lead to the energy drink company focusing on other rising stars in the sport, while Ducati gears up for what could be a
historic partnership. As the 2025 season draws nearer, all eyes will be on Márquez as he embarks on this new chapter with Ducati, marking the end of one era and the beginning of another.
