Marquez and Acosta to be unveiled as Ducati pair on 18 January

Ducati will present its factory team at Campioni in Pista, the winter event held in the Dolomites at Madonna di Campiglio, on 18 January 2027. It will be the fifth consecutive year the team has unveiled its line-up at the event.

The date marks the first time Marc Marquez and Pedro Acosta will appear together in Ducati red. Acosta's arrival is the main new development for the team next year, with Marquez gaining a teammate many regard as his heir.

The GP27 will also differ considerably from the current Desmosedici. MotoGP is set to undergo a major technical change in 2027, with engine capacity reduced from 1,000cc to 850cc, reduced aerodynamics and a ban on lowering devices.
