For the first time in its history, Ducati locked out the top eight positions in a MotoGP ‘race’ in the Thailand Sprin🐭t.

Since Sprint results aren’t counted among official stat🎃istics as ‘races’, Ducati’s latest milestone is only half-true, but it nonetheless remains a fact that not a single one of its motorcycles was beaten by one of another brand on Saturday in Thailand.

T☂he final two of the Du🐬catis over the line were the VR46 duo of Marco Bezzecchi, and Fabio Di Giannantonio.

Bezzecchi was the seventh of the eight Ducatis to lock out the top eight positions in the Sprint. His theory on wh꧟y the Bologna brand w𝕴as able to achieve such a feat in Thailand was quite simple.

“The bike is very quick,” he said.

“The GP24 bike here is really fast, but also our bike [GP23] here is f🐼ast, through the season has been fast.

“So, they work very well. I never tried other bike𝓀s, so I can’t judge or make a comparison. For sure the bik🌠e is competitive, you can see from the result.”

Bezzecchi’s teammate, Fabio Di ꦛGiannantonio, was more clear about what he thinks is the key to Ducati’s current dominance of MotoGP.

“I think the bike is really consistent in every condition, and also we make the tyre work in a really proper way,” heꦚ said.

“Even wh♚en we change the construction the bike is working really g🎀ood, we don’t feel much change on it, so that’s the main thing.

“Also, in the MotoGP of today, we hav🦋e not the best bike in one area, but we have a 9/10 bike in every area, and this means the bike is the best bike to compete.”

Di Giannantonio’s 2025 teammate, and Bezzecchi’s 2025 replacement, Franco Morဣbidelli, had his own fairly straightf♑orward view on why the Ducati — a bike on which he is completing his first season — is so strong.

“It’s the first time 🐈it happened 𝓀this year,” Morbidelli said. “I mean, this is a reflection of a great machine that the Ducati is. GP23, GP24, it doesn’t matter. It’s a great machine.”
