Home Grand Prix for the Ducati Lenovo Team at Misano Adriatico

A demanding September for the Ducati Lenovo Team, which flies from Barcelona to Misano Adriatico for the 16th round of the 2025 season. With the constructors' title secured, its seventh in history and the sixth in a row, Ducati arrives at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, where we have raced since 2007. A track where the Desmosedici GP has scored seven victories and where last year it achieved the important milestone of 100 wins in the Premier Class. The Borgo Panigale roll of honor here is completed by the seals of Stoner (2007), Dovizioso (2018), Bagnaia (2022 and 2023), Martin (2023), Bastianini (Emilia Romagna GP) and Marc Márquez (both last year).

With 487 points, 14 Sprint wins, 10 GP wins and a solid second place at the Catalan GP, Marc Márquez is chasing his sixth career win at Misano to further extend his lead in the standings before the overseas races.

After a stunning comeback in Barcelona a few days ago and ready to tackle his home weekend in front of all his fans, Pecco Bagnaia, always incredibly fast on this track, is ready to take on the challenge.

The first free practice session for both riders is on Friday, September 12th, at 10:45 a.m. local time.

Marc Márquez (#93 Ducati Lenovo Team) - 1st (487 points)
“It was a great race in Catalunya, an amazing celebration with all the fans and on a track that, at least on paper, wasn't perfect for my characteristics, we took the win in the Sprint and the second place in the GP. I knew Alex was very fast; already in the first free practice session he had a better pace in the final sector. Misano, on the other hand, is a track more suited to my style; it will be a weekend dedicated to all the Ducati fans; I can't wait to get out on track”.

Francesco Bagnaia (#63 Ducati Lenovo Team) - 3rd (237 points)
"Misano is always special, we'll try to enjoy the embrace of all the Ducati fans. We're coming there motivated; we have struggled in Catalunya. After qualifying, it was an uphill weekend, but we also finished with a great race and a comeback on Sunday. We'll start from these good feelings: we'll keep working hard and use the track's characteristics to our advantage”.
