The sun shone brightly on the Ducati Lenovo Team as Marc Márquez clinched his seventh MotoGP World Championship and Francesco Bagnaia stormed to victory at the Grand Prix of Japan, delivering a one-two finish that will be etched in racing history.
Six years after his last Premier Class title, Márquez returned to the top with a season that defied expectations and rewrote the narrative of resilience. Riding the Desmosedici GP, he didn’t just win races—he conquered doubt, injury, and time itself. With 11 race wins, 14 Sprint victories, 31 podiums, and 541 points out of a possible 629, Marc’s comeback is nothing short of legendary.
“This title is more than numbers—it’s peace, perseverance, and passion,” said Márquez. “After years of struggle, I embraced the most competitive project with Ducati, and it was the perfect decision.”
Ducati’s Era of Dominance
Marc’s triumph marks Ducati Lenovo Team’s third Riders’ Championship in four years, and the fifth overall for Ducati in MotoGP. From Stoner in 2007 to Bagnaia in 2022 and 2023, Martín in 2024, and now Márquez in 2025, the red machines from Borgo Panigale continue to shape the sport’s modern era.
Bagnaia, starting from pole, delivered a flawless ride to claim the race win—his first since overcoming a challenging season. His performance, paired with Márquez’s second-place finish, completed a weekend of dominance for Ducati, echoing their Sprint success just a day earlier.
“I finally felt like myself again on the bike,” said Bagnaia. “It’s been a tough season but today reminded me why we never stop believing. Huge congratulations to Marc—he’s been phenomenal.”
