Jeremy Seewer and Ducati part ways

Jeremy Seewer and Ducati have mutually agreed to terminate their partnership with immediate effect, ending the Swiss rider’s tenure with the Red Bull Factory MXGP Team. This decision comes ahead of the 2026 MXGP World Championship season, marking a significant change for both parties. Ducati will continue its campaign without Seewer, signalling a new direction for the factory team. Following Seewer’s departure, Ducati has confirmed that Andrea Bonacorsi and Calvin Vlaanderen will serve as the team’s regular riders from the upcoming Grand Prix of Germany in Teutschenthal. Both riders will be tasked with representing the Italian manufacturer as it seeks to build on its recent successes. This move reflects Ducati’s commitment to maintaining a strong presence in the MXGP championship despite the lineup change. During his time with Ducati, Seewer contributed notably to the team’s efforts, securing two podium finishes in 2025. The Swiss rider achieved third place at the Grands Prix of Frauenfeld and Ernée, helping to establish Ducati as a competitive force in the series. The manufacturer expressed gratitude for Seewer’s dedication and the role he played in advancing their MXGP project. Looking ahead, the split raises questions about Seewer’s future plans and the potential impact on Ducati’s performance in the upcoming season. With Bonacorsi and Vlaanderen stepping up as lead riders, the factory team will be under pressure to maintain momentum and challenge for top honours. The MXGP community will be watching closely to see how both Seewer and Ducati adapt to this new chapter.
