Spanish MotoGP champion Marc Marquez has extended his contract with Ducati until 2028 [1].
The agreement ensures that one of the sport's most successful riders remains with the Italian manufacturer for several more seasons. This stability allows Ducati to maintain a high-profile competitor while Marquez seeks to regain his dominance in the premier class.
Marquez, 33 [1], reached the agreement with the team based in Rome, Italy [1]. The extension follows a period of transition for the rider, who joined the Ducati fold between 2023 and 2024 [2, 3]. While some reports indicate he joined the team in 2024 [2], other sources state he joined last year, in 2023 [3].
The multi-year deal provides a long-term horizon for the rider and the technical crew. By securing his spot until 2028 [1], Marquez avoids the immediate pressure of the free-agent market and can focus on optimizing his performance on the Ducati machinery.
Ducati has not provided specific financial details regarding the new contract. However, the move signals a strong commitment from the manufacturer to keep the Spanish champion as a central figure in their racing strategy for the next four years.
This extension comes as Marquez continues to adapt to the specific characteristics of the Ducati bike. His presence on the team is viewed as a strategic asset for the brand's global visibility, and technical development in the MotoGP paddock.
