Luca Marini could have a future at Ducati after losing his Honda seat for 2027. According to Moto IT, Marini has two realistic options, a return to VR46 under Valentino Rossi, or a test rider role at Ducati, where he has important admirers at Borgo Panigale. Ducati want a replacement for the 40-year-old Michele Pirro, and Marini has been praised for his technical feedback and contribution to bike development. The door at Ducati is open.
