Marc Marquez gave an “eight out of ten” response when asked about his Ducati MotoGP future.
After reclaiming the MotoGP World Championship with Ducati in his debut season, Marc Marquez is confident in the factory’s ability to deliver the fastest bike for the final year of the 1000cc regulations in 2026. As MotoGP prepares to switch to 850cc machines and Pirelli tires in 2027, Marquez acknowledges that his future is uncertain.

Despite his successful first year with Ducati, Marquez has hinted at the possibility of returning to Honda, where he spent most of his MotoGP career. Contract negotiations for 2027 are set to begin in February or March, with Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali emphasizing the need for evaluation before making any decisions. Marquez’s future remains open, with his current focus on speed and winning races.
