Ducati Confirms Pecco Bagnaia Leaving At End Of 2026 Season
The next shoe has dropped. After Ducati confirmed they had signed a two-year deal with Marc Marquez, today they have announced that Pecco Bagnaia will be leaving the Borgo Panigale factory at the end of this season.
What has not yet been officially announced is where Bagnaia is going, but that announcement has to wait for a press statement from Aprilia that Jorge Martin is leaving. This press release is the first step in a three-step process which paves the way for Ducati announcing Pedro Acosta at the factory Ducati team, to partner Marc Marquez. But first, we will see a press release from KTM thanking Acosta for his service at KTM.
With so many riders changing teams and factories, coordinating all of the announcements is a very tricky and sensitive process.
