Ducati believes that its situation in MotoGP will stay stable for the future, even though there are many rumours mainly talk about the possible move of Gresini Racing to Honda in 2027, when new technical rules will start.
During the Brazil Grand Prix weekend, many people in MotoGP were discussing what will happen next. The 2027 season is very important because the rules will change and teams must decide their future early. Ducati has several partner teams, called satellite teams and they are a big part of its success.
At the moment, one of these teams, Gresini Racing, has not yet signed a new contract with Ducati for 2027. This has created a lot of speculation. Some reports say that Honda is trying to convince Gresini to join them again. The team worked with Honda in the past, so this would not be a completely new partnership.
Honda is interested because it wants to become stronger in MotoGP again. Having another team would give them more bikes on the grid and more data for development. This could help them fight against Ducati, which has been very successful in recent years.
Even with these rumours, Ducati remains calm. People inside the company say they believe everything will stay the same. They trust that Gresini will continue working with them. Ducati also already has a long-term agreement with another team, VR46, so part of its structure is secure.
Ducati knows that Gresini is an important partner. The team has achieved good results and has helped Ducati to stay strong in MotoGP. Because of this, Ducati wants to keep the partnership and will try to reach a new agreement soon.
At the same time, the situation is still open. Gresini has not made a final decision yet, and talks with both Honda and Ducati may continue. This means the future of the team could still change before 2027.
In simple terms, there are many rumours, but nothing is confirmed. Ducati feels confident and believes its current structure will continue. However, MotoGP is always changing and decisions like this can affect the whole championship.
