Marc Marquez warns competition: "Ready for a new challenge"

Protagonist of one of the greatest comebacks ever, thanks to willpower and dedication, Marc Marquez is poised to write a new chapter in motorcycling history. With his Ducati, he set the all-time record for points won by a single rider over the course of a season and won the MotoGp world championship title hands down. On the day of the presentation of the new season, the former Honda started by taking a step back.

“The 2025 represented a key moment in my life and career – he stressed -. A challenge against all odds, to prove to myself first of all that I could be able to win again. I am not so much concerned with numbers and records, but 2026 similarly represents another challenge. Reconfirming will be even more difficult, but we have on our side the ability to make the most of the Desmosedici GP package, which is the most competitive and reliable”.

“To regain confidence in riding after the injury is the first goal, then to put on a show on the track with the Ducati Lenovo Team whose colors I will try to honor to the best of my ability again this year. In the first training sessions on the bike, the sensations have been more than positive, but in Malaysia there will be the first real test ahead of the season” he then stressed the Spanish star.

It will be a season full of meaning with the celebration of the centenary since the founding of Ducati (1926), an anniversary also declined in graphic appearance on the livery of the Desmosedici GP with the novelty of the Rosso Centenario opaque and double white band.

A dark red, like that of the origins: from the red of the Ducati 60 of 1949, the first complete bike that marked the entry among motorcycle manufacturers, to that of the Gran Sport “Marianna” of 1955, the first Ducati designed to race, signed by engineer Fabio Taglioni.
