In the 2027 MotoGP season, Spanish rider Joan Mir, who transferred to Gresini Racing, will ride Ducati's factory-supported motorcycle. Team officials confirmed that Mir's position will not change and that he will continue to have priority support regarding technical updates and development parts in the coming season.
A significant transfer has occurred in the world of MotoGP. 2020 World Champion Joan Mir is opening a new chapter in his career by joining Gresini Racing in the 2027 season. This transition is not just a change of team; it also means that Ducati will receive official support for its factory motorcycle. Team officials clarified that Mir's position will remain unchanged and that he will provide priority support concerning technical updates and development parts throughout the MotoGP season.
The Importance of Factory Status
This new step in Joan Mir’s career does not mean he holds the status of a satellite team rider technically. However, his role at Gresini will ensure that he rides the factory version of Ducati's 850cc MotoGP motorcycle for 2027. This situation means priority support regarding technical innovations and new parts during the season. Although Mir has raced in factory teams throughout his career, in this new period he will compete under different technical conditions. Therefore, having factory status at Gresini provides a significant advantage, especially in the first season where completely new technical rules will be implemented. His teammate Dani Holgado will begin his first MotoGP season with a Ducati with satellite specifications.
Technical Changes and the Continuation of Separation
The 2027 season will see a comprehensive technical transformation for MotoGP. While the engine capacity will drop from 1000cc to 850cc, Pirelli will be the new tire supplier. Furthermore, aerodynamic regulations will be tightened, and rider height devices will be completely banned. Although all manufacturers will start the season with completely new motorcycles, the distinction between factory and satellite specifications will continue. Factory-supported riders will hold priority regarding development parts and technical updates.
Gresini and Ducati Partnership Strengthened
In addition to this transfer, it has been confirmed that a long-term partnership between Gresini Racing and Ducati is solidifying. Ducati Corse General Manager Gigi Dall’Igna emphasized that this collaboration is one of the key pillars of the Ducati project in terms of sporting success and technical expertise.
Dall’Igna stated that the partnership will continue:
“We are delighted to confirm that the many-year partnership between Ducati Corse and Gresini Racing will continue. This relationship is built upon shared values, technical expertise, and the determination to achieve ambitious goals on track.”
He also highlighted the importance of Gresini in the Ducati MotoGP project:
“Gresini Racing is one of our key partners in the Ducati MotoGP project. We will continue to work together and consistently to advance our joint journey.”
2027 Grid Confirmed
The six Ducati seats for the 2027 season are now confirmed. Marc Marquez and Pedro Acosta will race in the Ducati Lenovo factory team, while Joan Mir and Dani Holgado will be at Gresini Racing. Fermin Aldeguer will be in the VR46 Racing Team, and Nicolo Bulega, who is fighting for the WorldSBK championship, is expected to be in the WorldSBK.
