For Márquez, this is his first Riders’ Title in Ducati colors, while for Ducati it represents a fourth consecutive MotoGP crown, achieved with three different riders. Francesco Bagnaia claimed the titles in 2022 and 2023, Jorge Martín in 2024, and now Marc Márquez in 2025. This unprecedented achievement underscores the strength of Ducati’s sporting and technical project, with the Desmosedici GP consistently at the forefront of global competition.
