The 2025 Italian Grand Prix promises to be spectacular, and Ducati is determined to make its mark. For this very special stage in Tuscany, Pecco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez will sport a special livery inspired by the Italian Renaissance, celebrating speed, genius, and the excellence of Made in Italy..
The fairings of the official Desmosedici GP25, visible only on Sunday (including during the warm-up), will pay tribute to Florence, the cradle of this pivotal period in history. On the one hand, Leonardo DeVinci will symbolize creativity and boldness. On the other hand, Machiavelli will represent strategic calculation and political power. Two visions, two icons, embodied by two modern knights launched at full speed into the conquest of the Mugello.
Marc Marquez disembark at Mugello in an impressive dynamic. After having dominated at Aragon, he arrives in Italy with the ambition of returning to a podium finish that has eluded him here since 2019. Although he only has one victory on this circuit (in 2014), his two second places (2016 and 2019) prove that he can shine there. A darker memory remains: his violent fall in 2013, at the end of the straight, still etched in people's memories.
Ducati at Mugello: a top-level duel expected between Bagnaia and Marquez
But this time it's in red Ducati Lenovo that he will line up for the first time at Mugello, in front of a passionate crowd. This will be my first time competing at Mugello in the Ducati Lenovo team colors. The circuit is perfect for getting the most out of the Desmosedici GP. We are coming out of an almost perfect GP. Repeating that here will be difficult, as everyone will be fast, but we are in good shape and we have our say. ", said Marquez.
Francis Bagnaia knows, himself, a love story with the Mugello. Triple world champion, he won all the Italian editions of 2022 to 2024, Sprint Race included. After a new podium in Aragon and a better feel with the GP25, notably thanks to the Brembo discs 355 mm, the Turinese arrives pumped up.
« I can't wait to get on track. Mugello is one of the most beautiful circuits in the world, with breathtaking sections. The atmosphere will be incredible, and we are back on the podium, which was good for the whole teamWe're going to give it our all here. ", told bagnaia.
With this special livery and an electric atmosphere, Ducati prepares for a very high-tension Sunday. Between a bagnaia master of the place and a Marquez sharper than ever, the Mugello could well become the scene of a historic Italian joust in MotoGP.
