This is the Spanish rider's first world championship title in the red Ducati colors, and also marks the fourth consecutive individual championship for the manufacturer from Borgo Panigale. Notably, this achievement was accomplished by three different riders: Francesco Bagnaia (2022, 2023), Jorge Martín (2024), and Marc Márquez (2025).
This unprecedented record in the MotoGP era demonstrates the enduring strength of a technical-sports project capable of adapting, evolving, and winning alongside diverse riders. The Desmosedici GP continues to assert its leading position on the world stage.
The Japanese Grand Prix was the culmination of a journey that began when Márquez joined Borgo Panigale's official racing team in early 2025. A challenge he accepted with determination and turned into an extraordinary season, where the Ducati Lenovo Team champion asserted himself as the absolute protagonist in this top international competition through every race.
Record-Breaking Numbers
His journey to conquering the Rider Championship title was marked by impressive numbers: 14 Sprint wins and 11 GP wins, propelling him to the top of the world standings with 541 points, 201 points ahead of the runner-up. His Sprint-GP combination was extraordinary: 10 double wins in the season, including 7 consecutive wins, a record that made him the rider with the longest combined winning streak in MotoGP.
GP Motegi was celebrated with a superb performance from Francesco Bagnaia, who won both the Sprint and Sunday's race, a result that further added value to this historic weekend for Ducati.
Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati, shared: “The story continues, and it is an incredible story we are writing! We are World Champions for the fourth consecutive year, proving that when talent, skill, and dedication meet, the line between the possible and the extraordinary disappears. On the track, everything seems easy, especially when results come consistently, but behind every success is relentless collaboration: months of design and simulation, hours of data analysis, fine-tuning the engine down to the smallest detail, meticulously researched racing strategy. All of this is invisible to the observer, but it is behind the scenes that we build our victories. There, every small detail makes a difference and becomes the deciding factor in helping a champion perform at their best on the track.”
Marc's integration process was natural. From his very first race, he quickly adapted to the Desmosedici GP and proved that the team's expectations were well-founded. In fact, in many situations, Marc's performance exceeded expectations – a testament to his exceptional talent as well as the effective collaboration with a professional, dedicated, and passionate team.
What made this weekend even more special was the performance of Pecco [Bagnaia], who won both the Sprint and Sunday's race. Seeing his smile, while also celebrating the Rider Championship, is an image that will stay with us for a long time and speaks volumes about the power of Ducati.
The newly won Rider Championship title, added to the already secured Manufacturer's Championship title in Barcelona, marks the sixth consecutive title for manufacturer Borgo Panigale. This is an unprecedented streak in MotoGP history and once again demonstrates the strength of a project built on talent, passion, and Made in Italy excellence.
Behind Success: Technical Data
At the heart of these successes are numbers that illustrate the commitment and meticulous work of the Borgo Panigale team:
Detailed statistics show that, to bring the Desmosedici GP to victory, the team spent over 100,000 hours designing just the bike's components. This process was supported by over 11,000 hours of intensive computation and simulation on Ducati's HPC (High-Performance Computing) computer systems. In particular, the aerodynamic and engine aspects underwent over 2,500 CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation cycles to ensure optimal performance and absolute precision.
Beyond simulations, the racing car underwent rigorous real-world testing. Over 5,000 hours were spent on test benches, and more than 200 hours on the racetrack with test driver Michele Pirro. Throughout the season, the technical team managed over 80 engine changes and produced a total of 48 racing engines for the six Desmosedici GP drivers.
The meticulousness in operations is also evident in how data is recorded and processed: over 1 terabyte of data collected directly on the racetrack, along with 800 gigabytes of augmented data, provided the analytical foundation for over 300 technical meetings. In total, the Ducati Lenovo team spent over 30,000 hours in the garage. These figures demonstrate that every millisecond gained on the racetrack is the result of persistent preparation and hard work behind the scenes.
From September 1st, 2025, Ducati Vietnam officially enters a new phase as Tram Anh Motorsports (TAMS) takes over the brand's distribution. Alongside a competitive pricing strategy and an extended warranty of up to 3 years, the plan to launch two large-scale showrooms in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in Q4 2025 marks a significant shift. Beyond offering outstanding models like the Panigale V4, Streetfighter, Multistrada, and Scrambler, Ducati Vietnam 2.0 aims to build an ecosystem centered around a motorcycle-centric lifestyle – a place where enthusiasts can connect through events, experiential spaces, and personalized services.
Alongside its commercial activities, Ducati Vietnam 2.0 continues to spread the spirit of speed and sport from the MotoGP racing circuit – where the Ducati Lenovo Team, with riders like Francesco Bagnaia and Marc Márquez, consistently achieves podium finishes. Pioneering technologies developed from the harsh racing environment, such as aerodynamics, optimized electronics, and the distinctive Desmodromic valve system, are directly applied to the commercial models. This allows users in Vietnam to clearly experience the "Born to Race" philosophy – born to excel on city streets or highways.
Through community networking activities, experiential events, and a comprehensive service network, Ducati Vietnam 2.0 aims to build a space that connects motorcycle enthusiasts, sharing a common passion for speed and the distinctive lifestyle of modern bikers.
