For the first ♏time in its history, Duca🥂ti locked out the top eight positions in a MotoGP ‘race’ in the Thailand Sprint.

Since Sprint results aren’t counted among official statistics 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.

꧅The final two 🥃of the Ducatis over the line were the VR46 duo of Marco Bezzecchi, and Fabio Di Giannantonio.

B♛ezzecchi was the seventh of the eight Ducatis to lock out the top eight positions in the Sprint. His theory on why the Bologna brꦅand was 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 fast, through the season has been f𓃲ast.

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

Be🍌zzecchi’s teammate, Fabio Di Giannantonio, 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 w🌌e make the tyre work in a re🦩ally proper way,” he said.

“Even when we change the construction the bike is working reall🥀y good, we don’t feel much change on it, so that’s the main th꧂ing.

“Also, in the MotoGP of today, we have not the best bike in one area, but we have a 9/10 bike in every area🧸, an🦩d this means the bike is the best bike to compete.”

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

“It’s the first tim൲e it happened this 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.”
