Marc Márquez vs Pecco Bagnaia — A clash of styles, a battle of brilliance. 🔥

Marc attacks every corner on the edge of control, fearless and explosive.
Pecco flows through turns with surgical precision, smooth and perfectly calculated.

Same goal. Same elite speed. Completely different art on two wheels.

If you had to choose… are you Team Aggression or Team Precision? 👀👇

These are the riders with the most victories in Ducati's history. How many wins do you think Pecco, Marc and Alex will achieve in 2026?

Where does Marc Marquez’s 2025 rank among the best seasons by a rider in MotoGP history? 🏆

Ducati Lenovo faces a highly competitive scenario heading into 2027: five riders for just two seats. The current occupants, Marc Márquez and Pecco Bagnaia, have contracts expiring in 2026, so both will need to prove themselves to secure their continued place. In this context, Marc Márquez has the upper hand for renewal, supported by his performance and his sporting impact within the project. Pecco Bagnaia’s situation is more uncertain. If the 2026 season follows a trend similar to the current one, it's not ruled out that the Italian might consider a change of scenery in search of a new boost to his career. Among the contenders is Fermín Aldeguer, who is contracted to Ducati, a key factor that could make it easier for him to secure the official seat if his progress continues. Álex Márquez also enters the equation: if he maintains this level, he’s a very serious candidate, as one of the few riders capable of being competitively paired with Marc as a teammate. Finally, Pedro Acosta is on Ducati’s radar. The brand is aware that with a competitive bike, the Spaniard could have real potential to fight for the World Championship. Five names, two seats, and a decision that will shape Ducati’s future in MotoGP.

Marc Márquez opened up about his comeback, rivalry with Rossi, and how he’s found peace after four years of struggle.

🗣️ “They saw that I have two screws that aren’t from the humerus itself... one bent, but it doesn’t matter what’s inside. My job is to adapt and work harder than ever so people talk about my results, not my arm.”

The champion admitted skipping Valencia was a calculated decision.
🗣️ “The mentality was to at least race in Valencia to say goodbye. Then I understood the risk — I had little to gain, and it could have been very costly.”

Looking ahead, Marc expects a fierce battle with his brother.
🗣️ “Next year, if nothing changes, Alex is my main rival, or one of the main ones. He’ll have the 2026 Ducati, and if he wins, great. We’ll work together like always.”

On his rivalry with Valentino Rossi, he gave one of his most striking quotes:
🗣️ “Rossi doesn’t need me and I don’t need him, but motorcycling needs both of us.”

He also reflected on overcoming the toughest years of his life.
🗣️ “This is the hardest one. The others came easily, but this injury dragged on for four years because of a decision I made. I didn’t want it to define my career — to make it just a memory means I overcame it.”
