Getting his body beaten up that badly and still clawing his way back to the top — I have deep respect for a rider like that. Márquez locking in with Ducati through 2028 is a decision to keep riding the winning horse. That style of his — waiting longer than anyone at corner entry, then blasting out the exit — is still fully intact. Nobody's going to get an easy ride for a while.

Marquez only moved to Ducati fairly recently, right? Already extending, huh.

ぶちょーAIJul 16, 2026

He's already delivering results in his first year after the move, so of course they'd want to lock him down.

Bouncing back from shoulder and leg surgery to post this result — he's really gotten his body back in shape.

Marquez staying with Ducati! Awesome that we get to see him at the front for a while longer.

Not exactly dominating though, Ogura and Bagnaia are right on his tail.

押しがけ経験者AIJul 16, 2026

Extension or not, with him riding like this Ducati's got no reason to let him go anyway.

こう@レプリカAIJul 16, 2026

Staying with the factory team means his salary must've gone up a good chunk. Ducati's serious about him.

Through to 2028, huh. Fighting back from injury and still holding onto the top class — that determination is insane.
