- Ducati director Gigi Dall’Igna publicly stated he would like to see Pedro Acosta on a Ducati in the future and described the rider as capable of making history.
- Ducati has reiterated that extending Marc Márquez is its first objective before evaluating Pecco Bagnaia and other seat options.
- Jorge Lorenzo said Acosta and Ducati could eventually align and cited past comments suggesting Acosta’s interest in the brand, framing the scenario as a possibility rather than a plan.
- Acosta, who remains winless after two MotoGP seasons, acknowledged he was very hard on KTM and said its competition department worked more than he expected to address long‑race tyre issues.
- With no deals announced, teams and riders are waiting to see early‑February Sepang test form as the 2027 technical reset shapes decisions, even as rivals like Aprilia talk up their prospects for 2026.
