Marc Marquez will remain with the Ducati Lenovo Team for the 2027 and 2028 MotoGP seasons after his new agreement was confirmed on Tuesday. The official championship site listed the deal among its latest news, stating that the #93 is staying with Ducati as MotoGP moves into its next rules cycle, according to a fresh update from MotoGP.com.
The timing matters because Marquez has rebuilt serious title momentum in recent weeks. MotoGP’s own homepage framed his Czech GP surge as a revival from 102 points back earlier in the month to a 40-point deficit by the end of the Brno weekend.
Ducati lock in their central MotoGP figure
For Ducati, this removes a major uncertainty before the 2027 technical reset. Marquez’s future had the potential to dominate the rider market, but the factory team can now plan its next era around a proven champion who is already turning his 2026 campaign into a live fight.
It also keeps pressure on the rest of the grid. Aprilia, Yamaha, Honda and KTM now know Ducati’s headline rider plan is settled, while Marquez gets clarity at a point when his on-track form is sharpening again. The deal is not just a contract extension; it is Ducati signalling that Marquez remains central to its next MotoGP chapter.
