The Ducati Lenovo Team has completed the 2025 edition of the MotoGP World Championship with the final race of the season at Valencia’s ‘Circuito Ricardo Tormo’. Nicolò Bulega was fifteenth at the flag, while Francesco Bagnaia crashed during the opening lap’s close scrap.

Bulega, eleventh in the warmup, managed – after a challenging start – 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.

The season draws to a close with Marc Márquez as World Champion and Francesco Bagnaia fifth in the final standings. The Triple Crown is completed by the Teams’ Title secured by the Ducati Lenovo Team and by the Constructors’ Championship won by Ducati.

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.

Nicolò Bulega (#11 Ducati Lenovo Team) – 15th
“We made a modification to the bike in this morning’s warm up and it worked, as I had better grip. The start to the race wasn’t 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’m satisfied with this experience: I made my debut at the penultimate event and the level is extremely high. I’ll try to make a step forward in Tuesday’s test, trying to lap as much as I can and to improve my confidence with the bike.”

Francesco Bagnaia (#63 Ducati Lenovo Team) – DNF
“Unfortunately these situations are part of our sport. It was a racing incident. It was surely positive the fact that I didn’t 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’s test. The goal is to make a step forward and lay the foundations upon which we’ll start working towards 2026.”
