Marc Marquez: MotoGP champion extends contract with Ducati
Reigning MotoGP champion Marc Marquez has extended his contract with Ducati until 2028.
The 33-year-old Spaniard joined the team in 2024 and last year won his seventh title – his first since 2019.
“I continue to compete because I love this sport and I want to achieve even more ambitious goals. I’m convinced this is the right place to do it,” said Marquez.
He heads into this weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix trailing championship leader Marco Bezzecchi by 40 points after the start of his season was hampered by injury.
Marquez secured his 100th career victory across all classes with a commanding win in the Hungarian Grand Prix this month, less than a month after shoulder and foot surgery.
He followed it up with victory in Sunday’s Czech Grand Prix.
“I’m super happy with this new agreement with the Ducati Lenovo Team and to continue being part of this family,” Marquez said.
“With this renewal, they have once again reaffirmed this commitment, respecting my times and giving me the peace of mind I needed to make the right decision.”
