Ferrandis set to return at Unadilla and ride a Ducati in 2026?


Dylan Ferrandis has been back on the bike after needing some time to reset his body and mind with the Frenchman targeting Unadilla as his return to race action.

Ferrandis said: “First week back on the bike feeling fresh and healthy 🔥🔥 did 5 weeks completely off enjoying some 🥖🍷🍾🍫 then 4 weeks training off the bike and here we are. Really needed that break after 9 seasons in the US trying to fight for every championship. Looking for getting back to the outdoors at Unadilla.”

It will be great to have the fast Frenchman back on track with maybe an MXoN spot to play for but rumours are also circulating that the Frenchman may now be in play to ride a Ducati in 2026 in the US alongside Justin Barcia, in what would be a pretty strong team for a debut season.

Cairoli has shown the bike can be competitive Stateside and this is a duo that will never back down in any situtation with experience of what it takes to win at the highest level. It could be an exciting debut season for the Italian brand!
