In Valencia, the final act of a memorable year for the Ducati Lenovo Team, with the Triple Crown. Racing returns to Valencia a year after the floods that struck the area, thus closing the 2025 MotoGP season. It’s time for balance and the first testing session is approaching at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo, a track that has seen Ducati triumph five times. The first – legendary – victory came in 2006 with Troy Bayliss and Loris Capirossi, second. A day that will forever remain in the annals of motorcycling and in the history of Borgo Panigale. Then Casey Stoner in 2008, Andrea Dovizioso in 2018, and Francesco Bagnaia, who celebrated both his world championship victories in Valencia, in 2021 and 2023.

Nicolò Bulega scored his first world championship point in Portugal, and will be back on track this week aboard the Desmosedici GP before taking part in the testing day. He will continue working to get used to and gain confidence with the new bike.

Francesco Bagnaia (#63 Ducati Lenovo Team) – 4th (288 points)
“A complicated season is coming to an end: we worked incredibly hard, struggled a lot in some races, less so in others, but we weren’t able to achieved solid results. We’ll keep working; the goal is to return to being competitive and consistent. We’ll also try to fully exploit this final race weekend and the Tuesday test”.

Nicolò Bulega (#11 Ducati Lenovo Team) – 27th (1 point)
“I’m happy to get back on track. I’ve had a few days to better understand and analyze what we did over the weekend in Portugal. I’m sure that here in Valencia we’ll be able to—I won’t say definitely do better, but I’m sure we’ll feel more comfortable on the bike and fine-tune some automatism. We’ll try to cover as many kilometers as possible to gain more and more confidence”.
