P1racenews AI automatic summary:
A spokesperson for Ducati has revealed three of its riders raced at the Thai MotoGP round with the manufacturer’s updated 2025 engine.
Both factory Ducati riders, Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia, as well as Fabio Di Giannantonio, competed with the 2025 specifications in Thailand. Ducati initially planned to use last year’s engine due to issues with this year’s prototype, but later changed their decision. The two different types of engines used by Ducati created a distinction between the factory riders. Despite small differences, Marc Marquez’s and Francesco Bagnaia’s feedback influenced the modifications in the more updated engine. Ducati continued their dominance in the 2025 season opener in Thailand, with Marc Marquez securing victories in both the sprint race and grand prix. Alex Marquez finished second in both races, joining his brother and Bagnaia on the podium in an impressive Ducati display. Franco Morbidelli completed an all-Ducati top four in the main race, with Di Giannantonio finishing 10th after recovering from injury, and Aldeguer placing 13th on his MotoGP debut.
