Six-time MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez is enjoying his final race with the Gresini Racing team. From Next year, he will be racing for the Factory Ducati team in a newly updated Ducati Machine. The Spanish Legend was one of the greatest riders in MotoGP. But the last few years were never the best for him as his Honda bike didn't match the talent and skills he delivered during the race.

So he moved to an Independent Ducati team Gresini Racing which has a GP23 Ducati machine. The engine was used last year by the Factory Ducati team and now they have updated to GP24. But as a satellite team with limited Budget Gresini Racing gave Marquez the best machine they had. Marc Marquez is a champion rider as we all know, he changed the machine into a monster by winning three podium wins this year. 

He is currently in third place in the Riders championship next to Jorge Martin and Francesco Bagnaia. They both use the latest GP24 machines and Marquez is almost there. The Ducati group was very impressed with him and they chose Marquez for next year instead of championship leader Jorge Martin to ride for the Factory team.

Ducati's reason was Marquez is very impressive even with a GP23 machine which is an older machine compared with the GP24s they use this year in their Factory team. So he could do wonders if they give him the latest Ducati machine. So Marquez will be having the latest Ducati bike next year and we could even see him fight for the championship next year.

Every person in the garage hugged Marquez as he was leaving the team and what was meant to be an emotional farewell became an enjoyable one for them. 

Today's MotoGP race is the final race of this year's MotoGP season and we still do not know who will emerge as the world champion between Jorge Martin and Pecco Bagnaia. The Spaniard Jorge Martin will become the world champion if he finishes 9th or above. Reigning world champion Francesco Bagnaia will be hoping for any miracle to win his third MotoGP world title this year.
