MotoGP: the Ducati Bagnaia/Marquez dream team in photos

It's the turn of the official Ducati team to make its 2025 presentation at Madonna di Campiglio. No number 1 on the fairings, but a rider duo ready to take everything in their path with Francesco Bagnaia and the first steps of Marc Marquez in his new Ducati factory rider costume.

Luigi Dall'Igna, General Manager of Ducati Corse: “As usual, Madonna di Campiglio welcomes us to her evocative setting for the presentation of the Ducati Lenovo team. After a record year in terms of performance and results, our objective remains the same. We want to continue to improve, although every year, looking at the numbers and statistics, it is more and more difficult. We are very proud of the entire working group and we are ready to take on a new challenge in MotoGP™, which has always been the maximum expression of Motorcycle racing. Expectations are high, which is normal, because we have an excellent technical package and a duo of drivers who need no introduction, with 11 World Champion titles in all categories. They are probably among the strongest on the entire MotoGP™ starting grid. Pecco (Bagnaia) remains a reference for Ducati and I am sure that Marc (Márquez) will be able to integrate into the team and show the full extent of his talent. We know that other manufacturers are making considerable efforts and I expect even tougher competition where Ducati Corse can be competitive.”

Francesco Bagnaia: “This is my fifth season with the Ducati Lenovo team. We have shown that we are a united working group. I will be back on the track with the No. 63 after a year 2024 which did not give me the greatest joy, which is the title, but which was very competitive and during which I broke several records. I learned a lot, I tried to make the most of every situation and in Barcelona the feeling on the bike during the post-GP Test was immediately positive. I have a new teammate, a strong and competitive rider and together we can take motorcycle development to an even higher level. It will be demanding, I will try to leave nothing to chance and attack the season with the same state of mind as usual.”

Marc Márquez: “I am really happy to wear the official colors of the Ducati Lenovo team. It's great to be here today at Madonna di Campiglio to start a new MotoGP™ season, which marks the start of what I consider to be the most important challenge of my career. This winter I was able to disconnect a little but I also had time to train hard and I now feel ready to face a new year full of challenges and emotions. I'm really looking forward to continuing the work we started at the Montmeló Test last November and getting back on the bike in Sepang and then Buriram. My first short-term goal is to enjoy riding because I know that if I can do that, everything else will follow. As I have said many times, when you are in an official team the goal is to be competitive in every race, to fight for podiums and victories and to try to fight for the World Championship . During the days that I have shared with the team so far, I have noticed that the working atmosphere has been fantastic and I can't wait to get back on the Desmosedici GP. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Claudio Domenicali, Gigi Dall'Igna, Mauro Grassilli and Davide Tardozzi for their trust and the warm welcome they gave me. We’re going to have a lot of fun this season.”
