Does Pecco Bagnaia really want to commit to Ducati again?<\/p>\n
Bagnaia has faced intense scrutiny this season, while tensions have flared between Ducati and him as his struggles have gone on without resolution.<\/p>\n
But Ducati has publicly backed Bagnaia, while the Italian said on Sunday at the Valencia grand Prix that he still wants to \u201cend my career with\u201d the marque.<\/p>\n
Asked when he will start talking about 2027 with Ducati, Bagnaia said: \u201cTuesday. I don\u2019t know, it\u2019s a difficult question.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to continue with Ducati.<\/p>\n
\u201cI started with Ducati. They gave me the possibility. They gave me the chance to win the title.<\/p>\n

\u201cI gave them the title. We improved the bike, which now is a bike everyone can use.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy ambition is to end my career with them.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe we will start speaking about it this winter. I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m not the one who needs to speak about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bagnaia has only ever ridden Ducati machinery in MotoGP, having made his debut in 2019 with the Pramac squad.<\/p>\n
He was promoted to Ducati\u2019s factory team in 2021, before winning the first of his two world titles in 2022.<\/p>\n
