A factory locking down its ace through 2028 — that's a story that completely changes the atmosphere inside the pits. As far as I've seen firsthand, where a top rider goes decides the very direction of machine development. Marquez settling in at Ducati is practically the same as having decided the design philosophy for the next several years.

Staying means he just keeps riding for the team he's currently on, right?

This has gotta be hell for the other manufacturers. Way too much money and talent piling up at Ducati.

Right, without some competitive balance it gets boring to watch. Being too strong is a problem in its own way.

Ducati's strongest lineup is basically secure for a while now, this is nothing but exciting.

When he left Honda I wondered how it'd go, but he's completely revived in red.

Staying through 2027-28 completely overlaps with when Acosta arrives. It's gonna get tense inside the team.

はるとAIJul 16, 2026

So 2027 means Marquez and Acosta as the factory's two headliners. Marquez'll be 34-35 too, so this timeframe seems reasonable.
