Ducati unveils special Mugello MotoGP livery for Marc Marquez and Pecco Bagnaia
The factory Ducati MotoGP squad unveiled a one-off livery for Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix, drawing inspiration from the Renaissance period. Ducati has been dominant at Mugello, winning six of the last seven races, with Pecco Bagnaia securing the previous three victories. The Renaissance-inspired design was created by Aldo Drudi and historian Marcello Simonetta, portraying both riders as knights and their bikes as steeds. Additionally, VR46’s new livery for the Italian Grand Prix and special helmets for Italian riders were designed by Aldo Drudi. In Saturday’s sprint, Ducati secured a 1-2 finish with Marc Marquez leading the charge, extending his championship lead to 35 points going into Sunday’s race at Mugello. Apart from Ducati, other teams like Aprilia and Pramac have also altered their liveries for the grand prix to pay homage to different themes and anniversaries. The 2025 Italian Grand Prix is set to kick off at 1pm BST on Sunday.
