Ducati is facing a tough decision on who should partner Francesco Bagnaia, with Martin, Marquez, and Bastianini in consideration. Martin, with three Sprint wins and two Grand Prix victories this season, holds a 39-point lead over Bagnaia before Mugello.

Ducati is preparing for a livery change to Italian national sporting colors this weekend, switching from their iconic red to blue.
