MotoGP | 6 May 2026
The Ducati Lenovo Team traveling to Le Mans The fifth round of the 2026 season is just around the corner for the Ducati Lenovo Team, on its way to Le Mans, the historic French track that is well-suited to the characteristics of the Desmosedici GP. The first triumph came in 2020 with Petrucci and the official team, followed by the victories from Miller ('21), Bastianini ('22), Bezzecchi ('23), and Martin ('24). The French track is the only one where all Ducati Teams have achieved the maximum result.
Excellent prospects to best face the weekend for Marc Márquez, winner of the Sprint in 2025 and second under the checkered flag on Sunday. Coming from a P1 in Saturday's race in Jerez and satisfied with what was tested in the post-GP test, he wants to be a protagonist.
A positive test session also for Pecco Bagnaia, second in the Sprint in Andalusia, but unlucky in the race while he was recovering. The goal is to get closer to the strongest guys on this legendary track where he has climbed the podium only once in 2024 (third).
Marc Márquez (#93 Ducati Lenovo Team) "Le Mans is a track that I like and where I was already very fast with the Desmosedici GP last year. It will be a weekend with many unknowns: the weather might give us some surprises. In any case, at Jerez we worked well. Aside from the crash, we were competitive and also on Monday we made a good step forward". Francesco Bagnaia (#63 Ducati Lenovo Team) "I am happy to go to Le Mans; on paper, it's the kind of track that can best enhance the character of the Desmosedici GP. After the test, I remained satisfied; we tried some convincing solutions that can give us a hand not only here but also on other types of tracks. We hope for good weather and continue to work to get closer to the strongest". Circuit Information Country: France
