Fermin Aldeguer has made it clear that securing a factory Ducati ride in MotoGP 2027 is one of his main ambitions, with the young Spaniard openly expressing his desire to race on the same team as Marc Marquez. His bold target has already drawn attention across the paddock ahead of the new season.
The Gresini Ducati rider wrapped up the 2025 MotoGP campaign with an impressive debut year. Aldeguer finished eighth overall with 214 points, a performance that earned him the Rookie of the Year title. His consistency throughout the season placed him firmly on Ducati’s radar as a potential future factory rider.
Racing alongside Alex Marquez at Gresini, Aldeguer regularly fought with the sport’s top names and showed he could handle the pressure at the highest level. His results and maturity on track strengthened his belief that a promotion is within reach.
Looking ahead to 2026, Aldeguer believes Marc Marquez will remain a major force at Ducati and a serious threat to Francesco Bagnaia. He feels Marquez’s dominance in 2025 played a key role in shaping the internal dynamic at Ducati.
Rather than being intimidated by the challenge, Aldeguer sees racing alongside Marquez as an opportunity to grow and prove himself. For him, sharing a garage with one of MotoGP’s greatest riders would be the ultimate test and a crucial step in his development.
