Italian MotoGP sensation Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia has secured a new two-year contract extension with Ducati, cementing his place with the team until the end of the 2026 season. This announcement comes as Bagnaia, a two-time MotoGP World Champion, looks to continue his successful run with Ducati, with which he achieved back-to-back world titles. Ducati’s decision to extend Bagnaia’s contract reflects their strong belief in his ability to maintain his top-tier performance on the Desmosedici GP, a machine he has mastered since joining their factory team in 2019.
Bagnaia expressed his excitement about the contract renewal, calling it an “honor” to continue racing for Ducati, a team he describes as his “dream.” His impressive record with the Italian brand has made him a national icon, especially since he became the first Italian rider to win a MotoGP World Title on an Italian bike in nearly 15 years. He sees the new contract as an opportunity to further his legacy with Ducati and continue their shared goal of achieving MotoGP success.
Ducati Corse General Manager Luigi Dall’Igna also praised Bagnaia, calling him a key component in Ducati’s modern success. Dall’Igna emphasized Bagnaia’s harmony with the Desmosedici GP and his importance to Ducati’s ongoing efforts to dominate in MotoGP. Ducati’s commitment to Bagnaia highlights their confidence in his leadership on the track as they pursue further world titles.
With this new deal, Bagnaia and Ducati are poised to continue their strong partnership, aiming to set more records and bring additional championships to Italy.
