With the first MotoGP launches behind us, and a chance to speak to riders, managers, and team members, as well as the FIM and IRTA getting to work again, there is at last some real news emerging about MotoGP. The first salvos have been fired in the MotoGP silly season. And as expected, it is Marc Márquez leading the way.
Márquez stays put
At the Ducati Lenovo presentation on Monday, Marc Márquez acknowledged that he would likely be among the first riders to sign a contract beyond 2026. And that means he is almost certain to stay at Ducati, despite his coyness about an answer. “Of course 2026 will be tricky, not on track, outside the track, because 2027 is open. Nobody can promise the best bike,” Márquez said.
