Ducati Corse has officially announced that two-time MotoGP world champion Francesco Bagnaia will leave the team at the end of the 2026 season. It brings an end to an eight-year partnership.
Bagnaia and Ducati ending after 8 years — this is a turning point of an era. They won two championships together with this pairing, so it's no easy decision. Inside the pits, jockeying with next season in mind must already be underway. Having watched this world up close myself, I'll be waiting for updates on what kind of riding the champion shows in a new environment.

This is a package deal with the Aprilia move I just saw, right?
Right, the departure and the Aprilia signing were announced at the same time.
This is way too sad, I loved Pecco on the Ducati.
'Through the end of the 2026 season' means he's still on Ducati next year, that last year sounds awkward.
8 years, huh, that's a long run. So the golden era of Ducati and Pecco is coming to an end.
Ducati's letting go of a two-time champion, favoring Marquez that blatantly is quite something.
