Romain Febvre, 34, currently second in the MXGP championship with 571 points, is leaving Kawasaki Racing after seven seasons to join the Red Bull Ducati Factory MXGP team on a two-year deal covering 2027 and 2028. Febvre said the move was "necessary to boost his motivation."
Watching this from the paddock for seven seasons, walking away from that chemistry with Kawasaki takes real nerve. He's currently second in the championship with 571 points, mid-fight. Ducati betting on Febvre with zero results together yet tells you both sides are genuinely confident.
