MotoGP champion Francesco Bagnaia is reportedly counting down the days until his tenure with the Ducati factory team comes to an end, according to reports from Motorsport.com. The Italian rider, who has won two premier class titles with the Bologna manufacturer, appears to be approaching the conclusion of his current contract cycle.
The news emerged on November 3, 2026, suggesting that Bagnaia's future with Ducati may be resolved before the end of the 2026 season. The 27-year-old has been with Ducati since 2019, progressing from the Pramac satellite squad to the factory team where he claimed championships in 2022 and 2023.
Speculation about Bagnaia's next move has intensified in recent months, with several manufacturers reportedly monitoring his contract situation. The rider has not publicly confirmed his 2027 plans, but the countdown narrative indicates a decision may be imminent.
