2. BK8 GRESINI RACING MOTOGP, BETWEEN PRESENT AND FUTURE

   Posted on 12:00pm Thursday 2nd Jul 2026

   Half a season still to go with our hearts on the line, but 2027 is just around the corner and the BK8 Gresini MotoGP Team is already working to be among the protagonists in the coming years as well.

    

   NEW LINE-UP Joan Mir and Dani Holgado will be the riders entrusted with defending the colours of the BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP Team on track. The record of number 36 speaks for itself: two world titles already won (MotoGP in 2020 and Moto3 in 2017), confirming his value at the highest level. Alongside him will be the very young number 96, Moto3 World Championship runner-up in 2024 and one of the main contenders in the Moto2 title fight this season. THE BIKE The collaboration with Ducati Corse has been confirmed, the result of a shared vision and a path already marked by success in both the past and present. A multi-year agreement that further strengthens a solid and well-structured relationship. The status of the BK8 Gresini Racing Team remains unchanged, with an official factory bike in the garage available to Joan Mir. #96 DANI HOLGADO – 2027 BK8 GRESINI RACING RIDER “I am very happy to join the MotoGP project of the BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP Team: it is literally the dream of my life to race in the premier class, and doing it with a team like this makes it even better. It is the result of a lot of effort and hard work over the years. I know it will be a huge challenge, but I am ready to grow both as a rider and as a person. A huge thank you to Nadia and the Team, my family, and everyone who has believed and continues to believe in me. I know it won’t be an easy journey, but I am fully ready for whatever comes next.”     JOAN MIR will only make statements once his contract with Honda expires (31 December 2026).   NADIA PADOVANI – GRESINI RACING TEAM OWNER “From next year a lot will change, but the essence of the BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP Team will remain the same. We continue to be a team that works to grow season after season, and in 2027 we will do so with two riders in whom we place great trust and whom we are ready to support fully. Dani is a profile we have been following for a long time and we are pleased that he can begin his rookie experience with us. Joan is a MotoGP World Champion: his record speaks for itself. One is at the beginning of his journey, the other aims to rediscover his best sensations and make the most of his potential. For both, we want to be a constant reference point. We will continue to race together with Ducati Corse, which over the years has proven to be a reliable and winning partner, and we are very happy about this. Last but not least, at the end of the season we will say goodbye to Alex and Fermin, two riders who have given a lot to our team, both in terms of results and human relationship. To them goes our thanks and best wishes for the future.” GIGI DALL’IGNA – GENERAL MANAGER DUCATI CORSE “We are pleased to confirm the continuation of the multi-year collaboration between Ducati Corse and the BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP Team. A relationship built over time, based on shared values, technical expertise, and a common determination to pursue ambitious goals on track. This partnership has been enriched by important sporting results achieved by the team, a testament to the quality of the work done together. The BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP Team represents a key partner within our project and we will continue to work side by side with continuity, with the aim of furthering our shared growth journey.”

3. CONSISTENCY AND POINTS, GOOD SUNDAY FOR FERMÍN ALDEGUER IN BRNO

   Posted on 5:00pm Sunday 21st Jun 2026

   FERMÍN ALDEGUER #54 “We can be satisfied. Yesterday we didn’t do very well in qualifying and it made the whole weekend a bit more complicated. Today as well I didn’t start well and by the first corner I was at least 15th. Then I did well to react immediately and find a good pace. It’s a sixth place that definitely gives us confidence, but in Assen we really need to make an important step forward, especially in qualifying.” RACEDAY FERMIN ALDEGUER 6º ALEX MARQUEZ DNS STANDINGS FERMIN ALDEGUER 9º (76 Points) ALEX MARQUEZ 10º (67 Points)

4. FERMÍN IN THE POINTS, ALEX DECIDES NOT TO RACE

   Posted on 5:00pm Saturday 20th Jun 2026

   FERMÍN ALDEGUER #54 “Qualifying was definitely the weak point of the day. Starting 11th was not ideal in itself, and considering the start I made, getting into the points was already a good result. The pace was honestly good, especially in the middle part of the race, so looking ahead to Sunday’s race we have to stay positive. We will definitely go with the medium rear tyre, which will give me more stability.” ALEX MÁRQUEZ #73 “It was definitely the best training session of the last few weeks. That said, together with the team we decided that the smartest move was not to take any risks in the race. Often crashes during a race don’t depend only on you, so we preferred to use all the available sessions to check my condition, and I think we are in a good place. Honestly, I thought I would be further behind, and at Assen we will continue working to keep improving.”   SPRINT RACE FERMIN ALDEGUER 8º ALEX MARQUEZ DNS STANDINGS FERMIN ALDEGUER 9º (69 Points) ALEX MARQUEZ 10º (67 Points)

5. LECUONA SHINES, FERMIN WOULD HAVE WANTED TO

   FERMIN ALDEGUER #54
   “Honestly, I don’t really have much to say. In the end, the most important thing is that I didn’t get hurt, and I hope no other rider had any issues either. It was a weekend where I felt good and where we definitely could have aimed high, but you also need a bit of luck. Now it’s time to go home and rest.”

   IKER LECUONA #27
   “It was an incredible weekend with a team that welcomed me in a fantastic way. We worked well, had fun, and brought home a great result. Despite the many mistakes during the race, we found excellent feeling with the bike, especially towards the end, and that’s where I really pushed. I wanted to catch my friend Moreira, but it’s fine like this. A huge thank you to everyone who made it possible for me to be here this weekend. It wasn’t a given that we would be this fast.”
