The Le Mans Bugatti circuit has become a stronghold for Ducati Desmosedicis since Danilo Petrucci’s victory in 2020, marking a significant turning point for the team. The subsequent wins by different Ducati riders have showcased a collective effort and diversity within the Ducati family. Independents like Gresini, VR46, and Pramac have all taken turns leading the pack at the renowned Circuit de la Sarthe, underlining the depth of talent within the Ducati ranks. Factors like track characteristics, unpredictable weather, and bike specifications have played a role in the independents’ success at Le Mans against the factory team. Despite a dominant showing by Marc Marquez in the 2025 French GP, the independents’ resilience and determination could potentially challenge the factory Ducati team for another shot at victory.
