Ducati has been dominating MotoGP with four consecutive Constructors’ Championships and two Riders’ Championships in recent years. They have won every race in the 2024 season except for Maverick Vinales’ victory on Aprilia at the Circuit of the Americas. Starting in 2025, Ducati will field only six bikes after Pramac Racing decided to end its partnership and join Yamaha instead. This change led to Ducati providing VR46 with factory machinery, with only Fabio Di Giannantonio being the sole rider on the GP25. Marc Marquez joined Ducati’s factory works team for 2025, causing Enea Bastianini to move to Tech3 KTM. Ducati’s performance has been impacted by key staff moving to rival manufacturers, but they are preparing for the upcoming 2027 regulation changes in MotoGP, where engine sizes will decrease and aerodynamics will be reduced. Ducati is already strategizing and reevaluating their bike design and approach for the future regulations.
