Ducati has never had three of its riders leading the world championship in its history, with Bagnaia currently ahead of Martin and Bezzecchi.

Ducati has achieved 10 doubles under the new sprint/grand prix format in 2023 and has secured 14 out of the 16 pole positions so far. Ducati holds the majority control of the grid slots with eight bikes, while other manufacturers have fewer.
