Marc Marquez will remain a Ducati Lenovo Team rider for the next two seasons. Ducati Corse have announced the #93 for 2027 and 2028, extending the partnership that saw Marquez complete a stunning comeback in 2025 as he secured his seventh MotoGP crown and first in red.
The 2025 season – with 14 Tissot Sprint and 11 Grand Prix wins – saw Marquez secure the Championship by Japan and set the all-time points record for a single season, completing one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history.
In 2026, Marquez is looking to make a different comeback after a tougher start to the season marred by injury, but has now cut the deficit to the top after taking back-to-back wins at Balaton Park and Brno. His win in Hungary was also the Ducati Lenovo Team’s 100th victory in MotoGP – and his 100th win across all classes – adding another celebration to Ducati’s centenary year in 2026.
Marc Marquez: “I'm red. I'm truly happy with this new agreement with the Ducati Lenovo Team and to continue being part of this family. When I decided to join Ducati, I was convinced it was the most competitive project. They believed in me, and we built a relationship based on trust and hard work. With this renewal, they have once again reaffirmed this commitment, respecting my times and giving me the peace of mind I needed to make the right decision. In our first year together, we fought for the title and won it: a priceless result that confirms that the path we had chosen was the right one. I continue to compete because I love this sport and I want to achieve even more ambitious goals. I'm convinced this is the right place to do it. As long as I'm here, I'll give my all to paint the future red.”
Claudio Domenicali, CEO Ducati Motor Holding: "The renewal with Marc for the 2027 and 2028 seasons represents the most natural choice after the incredible results we achieved together in his first season in red. He brought into a winning Team a mentality that is, if possible, even more determined and an extraordinary competitive spirit. Marc, besides being an extraordinary talent, perfectly represents the Ducati mentality, made of great dedication and sacrifice but also of harmony within the Team and the ability to be great professionals even in a playful and serene atmosphere. Continuing together means giving continuity to a successful project and therefore facing the upcoming seasons with the ambition to keep Ducati at the top of MotoGP."
Luigi Dall’Igna, General Manager of Ducati Corse: “Trust, the relationship between Ducati and Marc starts here. He was looking for us first, he chose us then, and today we are happy to say that we are planning a future—more red than rosy—together. Marc has always put his passion, his motivation, and his true competitive spirit above all else in the choices that guided his experience with the Ducati Lenovo Team. He placed his trust in the entire Team: this filled us with pride and motivated us to always give our all to support him. As an engineer, working with Marc has impressed me. He brought the Desmosedici GP to peak performances, enhancing every component. The ambitions remain unchanged, and I am happy to be able to live, both sportingly and personally, a new chapter in this Ducati story together with Marc."
Tune in this weekend for the Dutch GP to see if Marquez can make it three in a row.
