On January 20, 2025, Madonna di Campiglio, the Pearl of the enchanting Dolomites and a place linked to Audi by a strong and active partnership that has lasted for 12 years, is the scene for the third consecutive year of the launch of the team MotoGP Ducati Lenovo Team. In fact, the Desmosedici GP and the new rider duo, Francesco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez, who will participate in the 2025 World Championship (first race scheduled for March 2 in Thailand), were unveiled this morning at the Palacampiglio.

After a record year, with the constructors' world title, the teams' world title and 13 victories, the Ducati Lenovo Team is back, confirming its desire for improvement and its goal of excellence. New technical features are on the agenda for the Desmosedici GP25 and continuity in design with the predominance of Ducati red, which recalls the Ducati logo, increasingly recognizable and distinctive.

The 2025 season is synonymous with an exceptional driver duo: Francesco 'Pecco' Bagnaia who returns to the track with the number 63 and Marc Márquez who brings the 93 on the fairing of the Desmosedici GP. A total of 11 world titles, considering the different categories, gives the right value to the Borgo Panigale project. Bagnaia wants to continue to be a contender for the Championship while Márquez wears the Red for a new start.

On the stage of 'Campioni in Pista', an event organized by Ducati in collaboration with Trentino Marketing and the Madonna di Campiglio Tourist Committee, in addition to the riders and the Team management, Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati Motor Holding, Luigi Dall'Igna, General Manager of Ducati Corse, Luca Rossi, President of Lenovo's Intelligent Devices Group, Timm Barlet, Director of Audi Italia and Tullio Serafini, President of the Tourist Committee of Madonna di Campiglio.

The start of the MotoGP season is fast approaching. The first round is from 5th to 7th February in Malaysia, at the Sepang International Circuit, where the Ducati Lenovo Team riders will be on track for the first official test session (Shakedown test – Sepang International Circuit – 31st January/2nd February – Michele Pirro).

Today, before enjoying the spectacular ski slopes of the Pearl of the Dolomites, the Ducati Lenovo Team riders will be present in the town centre of Madonna di Campiglio, in Piazza Sissi, from 17pm to meet all the fans. On Tuesday 00 January, the first official interview with the Bagnaia-Márquez duo is also scheduled, which will bring the voices of the two Ducati champions to the world from the snowy slopes of the Madonna di Campiglio ski area thanks to a broadcast on the official Ducati YouTube channel.

Claudio Domenicali (CEO Ducati Motor Holding):
“The presentation of the Ducati Lenovo 2025 Team is an important moment for the entire company. Our goal of continuous improvement has guided the choices for this season and we are confident that a team with two champions like Pecco and Marc will be a source of inspiration for the entire team. The mutual contribution of Pecco, a great interpreter and expert of the Ducati package with which he has won more than anyone else in recent years, and Marc, a rider with indisputable talent and experience, certainly means additional value. Over these years we have always believed in our abilities, and by being able to invest in a system we have built our best period: from a sporting point of view, by creating the fastest bike on the grid and attracting the strongest riders of this generation, and from a business point of view, by applying this winning method also in the planning, design and development of the series products. The year 2025 promises to be full of challenges and we are preparing to face them with the strength of a product range made up of lightweight and technological motorcycles and an extraordinary team that promises an unprecedented spectacle.

Luigi Dall'Igna (General Manager of Ducati Corse):
“As usual, Madonna di Campiglio welcomes us in its evocative setting for the launch of the Ducati Lenovo Team. After a record year in terms of performance and results, our goal remains the same. We want to continue to improve, even if every year, looking at the numbers and statistics, it is increasingly difficult. We are very proud of the entire working group and we are ready to take on a new challenge in MotoGP, which has always been the maximum expression of motorcycle racing. Expectations are high, it is normal, because we have an excellent technical package and a rider duo that no longer needs to be introduced, with 11 world championship titles in the various categories. They are probably among the strongest on the entire MotoGP starting grid: Pecco (Bagnaia) remains a reference for Ducati and I am sure that Marc (Márquez) will be able to integrate into the team and show all his talent. We know that the other manufacturers are making great efforts and I expect an even stronger competition where Ducati Corse can be competitive."

Luca Rossi (President of Lenovo Intelligent Devices Group):
“Ducati and Lenovo represent much more than a sponsorship: it is a true partnership between us, built on shared values, aligned goals, and a passion for innovation and performance. Building on the remarkable progress and learnings of recent years, we are working hand in hand with Ducati to push the boundaries even further as we enter the eighth season of MotoGP together. With our cutting-edge technology, we will continue to push performance to new heights for the 2025 season. We are proud and honored to be part of the team’s remarkable journey as they take on intense competition with unwavering determination, a strong team spirit, and a bold, forward-looking approach.”
