Ducati officially announced on June 23 that it had extended its contract with Marc Marquez. The deal covers the 2027 and 2028 seasons, the first two years of MotoGP's new era featuring 850cc engines and Pirelli tires. Marquez declared 'I'm red,' confirming he'll remain with the factory Lenovo Ducati team.

Speaking for myself, this is the natural flow. When diving into the uncharted territory of 850cc plus Pirelli, what a manufacturer wants most isn't 'speed,' it's a man who can give back 'readable feedback.' Marquez can put everything from corner entry to exit into words. I think it was the right call for the reds to lock him down first.

Does switching to 850cc mean less power or more? Curious how that shakes out.

Once it's Pirelli, the power map might shift depending on the tire, red isn't necessarily safe.

That's fair. Hard to predict who adapts first to 850cc plus Pirelli.

Marquez leaving Honda and going full red, unthinkable a few years ago.

He just went where he could win, this isn't about loyalty or anything like that.

A 2027-28 extension, right at the first two years of the switch to 850cc plus Pirelli.

'I'm red' is way too cool. He's basically the face of Ducati.
