P1racenews AI automatic summary:
This is the new 2026 MotoGP livery for reigning champion Marc Marquez and Ducati Lenovo team-mate Francesco Bagnaia.
Marc Marquez and team-mate Francesco Bagnaia will aim to continue Ducati’s MotoGP success in the 2026 season with the new race livery presented during the team launch at Madonna di Campiglio.
Ducati has clinched the riders’ title for the past four seasons, with Bagnaia in 2022, 2023, Jorge Martin in 2024, and Marquez in 2025.
The 2026 Desmosedici GP26 features a special design commemorating Ducati’s 100th anniversary, inspired by their past achievements, including 88 consecutive podiums.
Marquez expressed optimism about the new colors and bike performance, while Bagnaia praised the livery design as the best he’s seen at Ducati in his sixth year with the team.
After a five-year drought, Marquez secured his debut Ducati title with an impressive season, only hampered by a shoulder injury suffered at Mandalika from a collision with Bezzecchi.
Marquez now shares the record of seven premier-class world championships with Rossi and aims to match Agostini’s eight titles this season, while Bagnaia seeks to address his form fluctuations and challenges from the previous year.
