Summary
Alex Marquez is set to join KTM’s factory MotoGP team in 2027, marking a major shift after four years with Gresini where he won four races and redefined his career. KTM, still reeling from losing Pedro Acosta to Ducati, sees Marquez as the key to unlocking their new 850cc machine and competing at the front. With his eighth premier-class season ahead, Marquez brings relentless determination and race IQ to align with KTM’s ambitions. The move follows the Concorde Agreement’s ripple effect, and while KTM also expects to sign Fabio Di Giannantonio, they’re still battling critical technical issues — recurring power loss due to vibrations affecting the ECU — a problem that nearly cost Acosta a race. Engineers have identified the root cause, but a permanent fix remains elusive as KTM races to build for the future while fixing the present.
