If you ask me, no matter who owns it, I can't imagine Ducati leaving the grid. That red exists to win. Capital matters and paddock competition are two separate things. Heading into the 2027 regulations, the team is already preparing for the next fight. No time to get swept up in rumors.

Didn't know Ducati was under the Volkswagen umbrella.

Ducati being under VW still feels a bit odd to me even now.

If it does get sold off, hope it doesn't end up in financial trouble like KTM.

Pulling out of MotoGP isn't something VW would cut easily given the brand value at stake.

Forget the capital talk, just please keep Ducati's MotoGP program running.

I want it to keep going too, but if it gets sold, you can't ignore the capital-policy side of things.

They say there's no impact, but a change of parent company is bound to have some effect.
