Part 2: Ducati Confirms Signing Of Pedro Acosta Through 2028

The announcement of Pecco Bagnaia's departure from Ducati opened the way for the Italian factory to the announce the arrival of Pedro Acosta from KTM. The Spaniard has signed a two-year deal to partner Marc Marquez in the factory Ducati team, and is without doubt the rider Ducati see as their future once Marquez retires.

The announcement from Ducati was not a surprise, but the lack of a departure press release from KTM was slightly unusual. Organizing the timing and sequence of these releases is immensely complicated, with so many riders swapping teams and factories, which may explain it.

Below is the press release from Ducati about Acosta's signing:

Pedro Acosta will be Marc Márquez's new teammate. Agreement with the Ducati Lenovo Team until 2028

Among the most talented riders in the MotoGP nursery, the Spaniard will race with Ducati in the 2027 and 2028 seasons
