The future of Marc Marquez, whose contract with Ducati will expire at the very end of next season, continues to hold sway. In recent times, speculation about the Spaniard’s future has multiplied: some see him returning to Honda, others staying at Ducati and others, instead, attempting a new challenge with Aprilia or KTM. For now, however, the world champion has no plans to change teams. “We’ll see what happens, but I’m very happy with where I am – he told AS . Why change something that works and in which you feel comfortable? ”.

Marc Marquez ended his season early.
The'injury suffered two weeks is more serious than expected.
Marquez has already won the title and it was decided not to force the times.

So far nothing strange and c'was to be expected.
The problem is that Marquez will not take part in the end-of-season tests either.
They will be the first with the 2026 bike.
A small hiccup that opponents could take advantage of.

Marquez still looks like the favorite for next year.

Recovery times and injuries have often betrayed him.
His and his team’s hope and that it will not happen again.
The'chance of the tenth title is greedy.

He would also surpass Valentino Rossi, pegged at 9.

“Now I just want to thank everyone for the support and affection received in 2025 and wish everyone a happy 2026, with the best possible health, which is really the most important thing”. The focus, now, is on the possible tenth world title, which would allow Marquez to overtake Valentino Rossi in the ranking of the most successful riders ever: “We will see what happens in 2026 and you should never take anything for granted but one thing is clear: a tenth title would not be more important than the one won this year, considering everything it took to get there. The 2025 title remains my most significant ever”.

The head of SIC58 Squadra Corse Paolo Simoncelli in an interview with Corriere della Sera, on the other hand, commented as his usual unabashedly on Pecco Bagnaia’s difficult season, completely dominated by his teammate Marc Marquez, in his first year in the official Ducati team. “Pecco was not prepared for such a strong teammate. Pecco comes from Valentino Rossi’s group and by dint of listening to all the things they say in that group he underestimated Marquez, which instead sent him into a crisis,” Simoncelli explained.
