Former Kawasaki rider Romain Febvre has been confirmed to move to Ducati's Red Bull Factory team for the 2027 and 2028 MXGP seasons, riding the Desmo450 MX. Febvre is a two-time MXGP world champion.
This is a big deal. A two-time world champion switching from Kawasaki to red. Having watched this stuff firsthand, Febvre's speed is the real thing. Carrying the Red Bull Factory banner on the Desmo450 MX will change everything from corner entry to exit. 2027 and 2028, I'm absolutely going to be following this.

What year did Febvre win the championship again?
He won it in 2015 and 2018, with KTM and Yamaha respectively
Ducati pushing into off-road too is exciting
Bringing in a champion is one thing, but whether the equipment can keep up is a separate question
A two-year deal for 2027-28 is on the longer side, you can feel Ducati's seriousness
The Desmo450 MX still feels like a work in progress, and they're putting a champion on it right away?
There's also a chance Febvre's own skill could carry it through
Febvre going to Ducati is complicated for me as a Kawasaki fan
