Ducati’s factory MotoGP operation became the second team to unveil its 2024 design in an event in Bologna, with reigning
Ducati unveiled a paint scheme for its 2024 campaign that closely resembles the one they used last season, when they won both the manufacturer’s and riders’ titles. The base color remains the classic racing red, but there are small design changes with a brighter red shade along the bike’s sides and front. The riders will also have different colored numbers this year. In particular, Bagnaia’s #1 plate is now black, while Bastianini’s long-standing #23 is now white instead of red. After a successful 2023 season, with Bagnaia winning six grand prix races and the riders’ title, Ducati will be aiming to top that achievement. Bastianini, on the other hand, will be looking for a more consistent season after struggling with injuries and finding it difficult to connect with the Desmosedici bike in 2023. However, he ended the year on a high note with a win in Malaysia, which should provide some momentum for a stronger performance in 2024.
