It is not yet known how the network will be formed for 2027. Teams are accelerating to try to hire their drivers long before the start of the season and proof of this is that decisions are being made well in advance and this could play a trick on some of them.</p> <span class="content-ad-module "> <span class="content-ad visible-md irr-container hidden-ad"><span class="ad-unit irr"> </span></span><span class="content-html"><span class="intext-md hidden-xs hidden-md"> </span></span></span><span class="content-ad-module "> <span class="content-ad visible-xs roba-container hidden-ad"><span class="ad-unit roba"> </span></span></span><p data-gtm-element-container="modulo-texto-link" class="paragraph">One of those who seems to have already decided his future is<strong> Pedro Costa</strong> who would leave the mark with which he debuted in the championship, <strong>KTM</strong>, <strong>sign with Ducati and be Marc Márquez's new partner</strong>. Those from Mattighofen were unable to satisfy the demands of the Murcian driver and everything indicates that this will be the last year in which<strong> Coast</strong> orange view.

I signed the contract with <strong>Ducati </strong>when he still had one more season left in Moto2. The bet on him was clear, but the option of having<strong> Coast</strong> in the team you cannot reject him. The most normal thing for him would be to stay in the orbit of <strong>Ducati</strong> despite not having an official motorcycle, but we will see who are the riders who occupy the much-desired ten factory motorcycle spots on the grid. </p> </div><script type="script/gg"> gg.didomi.doWhenConsent(!window.didomiBypass, 'c:facebooka-frU9M5JY', function () { console.log('facebook-ad-def'); !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)}; if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0'; n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script', 'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js'); fbq('init', '682047071976590'); fbq('track', 'PageView'); }); </script>
