The 2026 MotoGP season is fast approaching, and a handful of teams have already unveiled their latest machines ahead of the first round at Buriram in Thailand. Aprilia returns with an all-black-everything look, while the Prima Pramac Yamaha team will don a predominantly purple aesthetic for 2026.
But instead of doing something outside of the proverbial box, Ducati leaned into its 100-year history for the livery of the Desmosedici GP26, opting for a dark red colorway, what they’re calling “Rosso Centenario,” inspired by the red of the Ducati 60, the first complete motorcycle to mark Ducati’s entry into the motorcycle manufacturing world.
Last year, Ducati Lenovo took home the prestigious triple crown for the third time in the team's history. They collected 13 overall wins - bringing the tally to 99 MotoGP victories - along with an all-time record for points scored by a single rider in a season (Marc Márquez with 545), as well as their sixth consecutive constructors' title.
