Marc Márquez and Ducati are the 2025 MotoGP World Champions
At the Grand Prix of Japan, Marc Márquez and the Desmosedici GP crowned an extraordinary season, securing the Riders' Title with five weekends to go
With four consecutive Riders' Titles and six Constructors’ Titles in a row, the Ducati Desmosedici GP once again proves it is the bike to beat in MotoGP
Claudio Domenicali, Ducati CEO: “Today we celebrate together the strength of a team that never stops surprising! The results may make everything look easy, but behind every success there is constant teamwork. It’s behind the scenes that we build the victory. Here, every detail makes a difference and becomes the key element that allows a champion to perform at their best on the track”
Bologna/Japan, 28 September 2025 – Marc Márquez and Ducati are the 2025 MotoGP World Champions with five weekends to go, writing a new chapter in the modern era of the two-wheel premier class.
For the Spanish champion, this is the first world championship in Ducati red, while for the Borgo Panigale manufacturer, it is the fourth consecutive Riders' Title, achieved with three different riders (2022, 2023: Francesco Bagnaia, 2024: Jorge Martín, 2025: Marc Márquez). This unprecedented result in the MotoGP era highlights the solidity of a technical and sporting project capable of adapting, evolving, and winning with different riders, with the Desmosedici GP consistently leading the world stage.
The Grand Prix of Japan represented the culmination of a journey that began with Márquez joining the official team of Borgo Panigale at the beginning of 2025. A challenge he accepted with determination and transformed into an extraordinary season, in which the Ducati Lenovo Team champion established himself race after race as the absolute protagonist in the top international competition on two wheels.
The journey to the Riders' Title was marked by exceptional numbers: 14 Sprint victories and 11 GP wins, which put him at the top of the world championship standings with 541 points, 201 points ahead of the runner-up. His Sprint-GP combination is impressive: 10 double wins in the season, 7 of them consecutive, a record that establishes him as the rider with the longest streak of combined wins in MotoGP.
The Motegi GP was crowned by a masterful performance from Francesco Bagnaia , who claimed victory in both the Sprint and the Sunday race, a result that adds even more value to an already historic weekend for Ducati.
Claudio Domenicali, Ducati CEO: “ The story continues, and what an incredible story we are writing! We are World Champions for the fourth consecutive year, proving that when talent, skills, and dedication meet, the boundary between the possible and the extraordinary disappears. On the track, everything may seem easy, especially when the results come consistently, but behind every success there is relentless teamwork: months of design and simulations, hours dedicated to data analysis, engine changes calibrated down to the smallest detail, race strategies studied with precision. All of this remains invisible to the eyes of the observers, but it is behind the scenes that we build victory. It is there that every small detail makes the difference and becomes the decisive element that allows a champion to express his best on the track. With Marc, this process was natural: he immediately found harmony with the Desmosedici GP. From the very first race, he confirmed everything we expected from him, and in many cases even exceeded our own expectations, demonstrating how an extraordinary talent like his and the meticulous work of a passionate and competent team like ours can enhance each other. What made this weekend even more special was Pecco’s performance, winning both the Sprint and the Sunday race. Seeing his smile, while also celebrating the Riders’ Title, is an image that will stay with us for a long time and speaks more than words about the strength of Ducati. To all the women and men of Ducati Corse I want to say thank you: once again, together, we did it. We are all part of a mechanism that only works if every element gives its all, and the Ducati mechanism is working at its best today, with Gigi Dall'Igna coordinating and inspiring every move. A special thanks goes to Lenovo, our partners, and suppliers, whose contributions make it possible to achieve goals of this level. Last year, I promised the Ducatisti that we would not settle, that we would continue working to win again... and today we demonstrate that our passion and commitment aren't just words, but concrete results that always put us one step ahead.”
The Riders' Title just won adds to the Constructors’ Title secured in Barcelona, the sixth consecutive for the Borgo Panigale manufacturer. A streak unmatched in the history of MotoGP and one that demonstrates, once again, the strength of a project built on talent, passion, and Made in Italy excellence.
At the heart of these successes are numbers that illustrate the commitment and meticulous work of the Borgo Panigale team:
Over 100,000 hours of design
Over 11,000 hours of calculations and simulations on Ducati HPC clusters
Over 2,500 CFD simulation cycles for aerodynamics and engine
Over 5,000 hours of testing on test benches
Over 80 engine changes managed during the season
48 race engines produced for the 6 Desmosedici GP riders
Over 1 TB of data collected on track and 800 GB of augmented data
Over 200 hours of on-track testing with Michele Pirro
Over 30,000 total hours spent by the Ducati Lenovo Team in the boxes
Over 300 briefing meetings
At Borgo Panigale, in the heart of Ducati, the victory was celebrated together with the women and men who make it possible every day. Employees gathered at the Company to share the pride and excitement of the triumph, once again showing that they are the brand’s first and most passionate fans.
