Well, that didn’t take long.
One day after Romain Febvre and Kawasaki Racing Team said they were parting ways at the conclusion of the 2026 MXGP season, Ducati announced the two-time World Champion would be joining the factory team on a two-year deal beginning in 2027.
Febvre, currently third in the MXGP point standings, will finish out the year with Kawasaki.
Below is the official announcement:
