MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez extended his contract with Ducati and will make a strong start to the new season in 2028.
The MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez generated great excitement by extending his new deal with Ducati Lenovo Team until 2028, signaling a major development. This move indicates that the Spanish star will compete with the Ducati factory team in the 850cc and Pirelli era of MotoGP. While the new contract is stated to cover the 2027 and 2028 seasons, reaching a two-year agreement after discussions regarding the rider's physical condition amid controversy, drew significant attention in the sports world.
Contract Details and the Relationship of Trust
Various claims emerged regarding Marc Marquez’s new contract. However, information is available confirming that this new agreement with Ducati has been officially announced. This deal marks a critical turning point in the rider's career. Marquez, who joined the Ducati factory team in the 2025 season, achieved world championship status in his first year, breaking Valentino Rossi’s record. However, uncertainties arose regarding his future due to a hamstring injury sustained at the Indonesian Grand Prix, and discussions took place about the contract duration—one or two years. Ultimately, Ducati and Marquez reached an agreement for a two-year contract.
In his statements, the rider emphasized the importance of the trust the Ducati family has in him. Regarding his new contract, he stated:
“I am red. I am very happy to have a new deal with the Ducati Lenovo Team and to continue being part of this family.”
Marquez also stressed that he believes this is the most competitive project and that the team trusts him when he decides to join Ducati. Their achievement of reaching the championship in his first season was the greatest proof that they chose the right path. Furthermore, stating that he has goals he wants to achieve, he said, “I race because I love this sport and I want to reach bigger goals. I will do whatever it takes to get to the red.”
Championship Battles and Technical Advantages
Marc Marquez’s future races and technical details will play a significant role in MotoGP competition. According to long-standing claims, Marquez will compete with Pedro Acosta in the Ducati factory team in the 2027 season. This sets up an exciting dynamic for the upcoming season.
During a special test in Brno, the rider had the opportunity to try the new 850cc Ducati prototype and Pirelli tires for the first time. These technical experiences will suit Marquez’s aggressive riding style. Additionally, the expected new environment—with reduced electronic aids and aerodynamic restrictions in the 2027 season—could enhance the rider's performance. One of the biggest goals ahead is reaching Giacomo Agostini’s eight premier-class championship record.
Ducati’s Risky Investment
Ducati took a big risk by choosing Marc Marquez instead of Jorge Martin. However, the championship success achieved by the Spanish star in his first season did not shake the confidence in the Borgo Panigale brand. This success shows that Ducati has received its investment payoff. The championship battle has reignited completely. Following Marco Bezzecchi’s penalty in Brno, the Spanish rider’s gap to the leader narrowed by up to 40 points. This highlights how critical the championship race is before Assen. Marc Marquez will continue to fight for his big goals in this competitive environment.
