Ducati has revealed two special liveries for the Valencia MotoGP test.
Ducati has revealed two new special liveries for the Valencia MotoGP test, which will be used by the Ducati Lenovo Team riders Francesco Bagnaia and Nicolo Bulega, with a retro-inspired design. Bagnaia’s Desmosedici GP will feature a predominantly silver livery based on the Imola 200-winning 750 Desmo from 1972, while Bulega’s bike will have a mostly yellow paint scheme inspired by Franco Uncini’s 750 Supersport Desmo. These liveries are not exact recreations of the past due to the team’s sponsors. Ducati has a history of introducing unique liveries, with Bagnaia and Enea Bastianini sporting a black-and-red livery in 2023 and Bagnaia previously having a red-and-white paint scheme inspired by Casey Stoner. Bagnaia and Bulega will test the new liveries in Valencia following a race where Bulega earned his second point in MotoGP and Bagnaia faced multiple challenges. Bagnaia aims to make improvements in the test after a tough 2025 season, but he anticipates progress may come after the Sepang test in February.
