Alex Marquez will be given a fourth current-spec MotoGP Ducati in 2026, joining Marc Marquez, Francesco Bagnaia and VR46's Fabio Di Giannantonio with this top-tier status.

Despite speculation that it might run six identical machines, this has once again been ruled out, mainly for production and contractual reasons.
