KTM has signed MotoGP rider Alex Marquez to a multi-year contract that begins in 2027, according to reports from Channel NewsAsia and Free Malaysia Today. The agreement means Marquez is set to depart his current team, Gresini Racing, after four seasons. The articles also note that Marquez’s move returns him to a factory team for the first time since his 2020 season with Honda, when he made his rookie appearance. With the deal set to start in 2027, Marquez continues racing with Gresini Racing through the end of the current four-season stint referenced by the reports. The coverage frames the KTM signing as a later-career transition from the non-factory setup with Gresini Racing back to a factory structure, but does not provide further contract details such as length beyond describing it as multi-year or specify additional terms. No other destinations, riders, or team lineup changes are reported in the provided summaries.
