the MotoGP World Championship with the final race of the season at Valencia\u2019s \u2018Circuito Ricardo Tormo\u2019. Nicol\u00f2 Bulega was fifteenth at the flag, while Francesco Bagnaia crashed during the opening lap\u2019s close scrap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bulega, eleventh in the warmup, managed \u2013 after a challenging start \u2013 to finish the encounter in fifteenth place. Bagnaia got a good start from row six as he made his way up to tenth position. At turn four, following a coming together, Pecco ran off track, with his race coming to an unfortunate premature end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The season draws to a close with Marc M\u00e1rquez as World Champion and Francesco Bagnaia fifth in the final standings. The Triple Crown is completed by the Teams\u2019 Title secured by the Ducati Lenovo Team and by the Constructors\u2019 Championship won by Ducati.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ducati Lenovo Team will resume proceedings this Tuesday, November 18th, for the first official test ahead of the 2026 season, taking place at the same track in Valencia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nicol\u00f2 Bulega (#11 Ducati Lenovo Team) \u2013 15th<\/strong><br><em>\u201cWe made a modification to the bike in this morning\u2019s warm up and it worked, as I had better grip. The start to the race wasn\u2019t the best as I had to ride with a lowered front fork up to turn five. Then, I struggled with grip, especially at the rear-end, and under acceleration. In any case, I\u2019m satisfied with this experience: I made my debut at the penultimate event and the level is extremely high. I\u2019ll try to make a step forward in Tuesday\u2019s test, trying to lap as much as I can and to improve my confidence with the bike.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Francesco Bagnaia (#63 Ducati Lenovo Team) \u2013 DNF<\/strong><br><em>\u201cUnfortunately these situations are part of our sport. It was a racing incident. It was surely positive the fact that I didn\u2019t get hurt, as during the crash the boot hit the wheel. I felt better at the start compared to yesterday: I overtook some riders and some more straight afterwards, and recovered six positions in total. Then the incident happened. It was a really challenging season, so now I want to focus on Tuesday\u2019s test. The goal is to make a step forward and lay the foundations upon which we\u2019ll start working towards 2026.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\r\n    <div class=\"d-sponsor _module-space-top
