Ducati Lenovo Team ready to face the San Marino Grand Prix in front of the home crowd

The MotoGP paddock moves to the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli for the 14th round of the 2026 season. A home track, the scene of great duels in the recent past, where the Desmosedici GP has managed to claim victory 8 times: from the first success in 2007 with Casey Stoner, through the victories of Andrea Dovizioso (2018), Pecco Bagnaia (2021, 2022), Jorge Martín (2023), Enea Bastianini (2024 Emilia-Romagna GP), up to Marc Márquez's triumphs in 2024 and 2025.

This weekend will see a historic milestone for Pecco Bagnaia, who on Sunday will become the rider with the most starts in the history of Ducati Corse in MotoGP, reaching 142 starts (from 2019 Qatar GP to 2026 San Marino GP), surpassing Andrea Dovizioso's 141 and Héctor Barberá's 108. An extraordinary journey celebrated by 2 World Titles, 31 victories, 63 podiums, and 22 pole positions. With a complicated weekend behind him but just 22.7 km from home, Pecco prepares to receive a final embrace in Italy from all the Ducatisti who have supported him over these 8 seasons riding the Desmosedici GP.

Marc Márquez returns to the track after his dominance at MotorLand and a full haul of 37 points, on a track that has seen him triumph twice in the last two years. Everyone remembers last year's iconic Messi-style celebration on the podium in front of the red squad, and Marc is ready to be a key player once again.

Marc Márquez (#93, Ducati Lenovo Team)
"At Aragón we scored maximum points, and that was the goal. MotorLand is a track that suits my riding style very well. Here at Misano it will be a bit more complicated, but it's still a track where I can try to express myself at my best and push the Desmosedici GP to its full potential. Plus, there will be so many Ducatisti fans, who can definitely give you that extra boost".

Francesco Bagnaia (#63, Ducati Lenovo Team)
"At Aragón we struggled, but holding back isn't like me. So we're getting right back to work with the whole Team on a truly special track: my real home track, in front of all the Ducatisti. We're not giving up and we'll keep pushing to be key players once again. I'm sure that the fans' support and passion will give me that little something extra, just as they have in the past".
