Catalan Round for the Ducati Lenovo Team: Where It All Began

The Catalan GP has always been one of the most beloved races for all Ducatisti. In Barcelona, ​​in 2003, Loris Capirossi scored Borgo Panigale's first MotoGP victory. This marked a milestone in Ducati Corse's history and an equally important milestone in the celebrations for Ducati's centenary (1926-2026).

Overall, the Desmosedici GP has won six times at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya: the historic 2003 victory was followed by Stoner in 2007, Dovizioso in 2017, Lorenzo in 2018, Bagnaia in 2024, and Alex Márquez in 2025 with Gresini Racing, in the weekend where we secured the seventh constructors' title, the sixth in a row.

The Ducati Lenovo Team will feature an unusual lineup, competing in its sixth race of 2026, with Marc Márquez recovering in Madrid from double surgery on his right foot and shoulder of the last Sunday, the result of a the high-side he suffered during the Sprint at Le Mans. Pecco Bagnaia will be on track, ready to bounce back after his crash in the French GP, a bitter end to a weekend that, up until that point, had seen him among the protagonists, finishing second in Saturday's race and taking pole position. Pecco's commitment will continue on the Monday following the GP with a day of testing.

Francesco Bagnaia (#63 Ducati Lenovo Team)
"Considering how the weekend ended in France, I'm happy to get back on track. Barcelona is a track that has always brought out the best of the Desmosedici GP. I'll take all the positives from Le Mans: we were fast right from the start, always in touch with the strongest riders, even taking the pole. Then, in the race, we kept the pace of the best riders as much as possible, in the podium positions. We'll start from here, continue working throughout the weekend, and make the most of Monday's test".
