Ducati has laid out how it will allocate its 2027 MotoGP machinery, confirming satellite teams won't get hand-me-down GP26 bikes since every bike is built fresh for the new 850cc rules. Factory riders Marc Marquez and Pedro Acosta sit at the top of the update queue, while at Gresini, world champion Joan Mir gets periodic upgrades and rookie Daniel Holgado runs a more static spec to ease his adaptation. On the test side, Nicolo Bulega is dedicated to developing the new Pirelli tires that replace Michelin from 2027.

Honestly, who gets priority and who has to wait — that whole hierarchy game isn't my strong suit. But splitting test duty between Pirro and Bulega makes sense. Pirro digs into chassis and aero on the Michelin baseline, Bulega digs into the new Pirelli's actual character. In a tire-change year, development comes down to who splits the workload right, not just laps run.

Bulega getting handed the new Pirelli development is exciting. Feels like his GP27 breakout is coming.

I get the Bulega hype, but the call between him and Aldeguer for the works update isn't even set yet. Bit premature.

Giving rookies a fixed spec is an old-school way to develop them. Prioritizing Marquez and Acosta is the obvious call.

Mir's a champion even on a satellite bike, and he still gets the lesser treatment?

So Marquez and Acosta scoop up everything in the end — satellites still feel like the leftovers.

They say no more hand-me-down GP26s, but with an update gap this big, isn't it basically the same thing?
