Ducati has extended its partnership with Louis Vosters' MXGP team through 2029, signing Romain Febvre to a two-year deal starting 2027 while trimming the rider lineup from three to two. Off-road boss Paolo Ciabatti said the goal is "to fight for podiums, wins, and ultimately the championship."

Having watched enough of these paddocks in person, trimming from three riders to two is a clear signal they're going all in. Signing Febvre for two years starting 2027 tells you they wanted someone with race-ready throttle feel, not a project. Extending through 2029 means Ducati is serious about the title.

Glad Bonacorsi is staying, he brings real stability.

Is an MXGP contract extension really this big a deal?

A deal running to 2029 shows how serious they are.

Signing Febvre for two years is basically a shot at KTM and Honda.

Trimming from three riders to two makes sense as a cost-focus move.

Trimming the roster could also read as a sign of disappointment.
