Marc Marquez with the Ducati Lenovo team until 2026
Ducati has officially confirmed that an agreement has been reached with Marc Márquez for the next two years.
At the end of the current season, when the Spaniard rides the Gresini Racing MotoGP team’s Desmosedici GP machine, the eight-time world champion (31 years old) will join the Ducati Team Lenovo alongside Francesco Bagnaia. He will ride the red bike of the Borgo Panigale-based team until 2026.
Luigi Dall’Igna – General Director of Ducati Corse
“First of all, I want to thank both Enea Bastianini and Jorge Martín for all their work with us over the past few years and I wish them all the best for the future. This season they have shown they have reached an incredible level and we are sure they will fight for the Title until the end. Deciding on Bagnaia’s new teammate in the Ducati Lenovo Team was not an easy one as we had a very strong list of riders to choose from. In the end, our choice fell on an unquestionable talent like Marc Márquez. In just a few races he has adapted perfectly to our Desmosedici GP, and his natural ambition has pushed him to develop continuously. In the box we will have two riders who together hold 11 World Titles and being able to rely on their experience and maturity will also be invaluable for our development..”

“I’m very happy to wear the red jersey of the Ducati team in MotoGP next season. Basically, from my first contact with the Desmosedici GP, I enjoyed riding it and adapted immediately. From that moment on, I knew that my goal was to continue on this path, continue to develop and move to the team where Pecco Bagnaia was World Champion for two years in a row. I’m happy to be able to take this big step forward in 2025 and grateful for the trust Ducati has placed in me. Finally, I want to thank Nadia, Carlo, Michele and the entire Gresini Racing family for opening their team’s doors to me at a sensitive time in my career. Now, we will continue to have fun and give our best for what is left of the current season, which is my priority right now.”
