Cast your mind back to the 2024 MotoGP world championship, or maybe we should call it Ducati’s Championship. The Bolognese manufacturer had eight bikes on the grid – twice as many as its nearest competitors. At the Thailand Grand Prix, all eight of the Ducati’s bikes finished in the top 10 of the sprint race.
Of 20 races, Ducati won 19 of them, and we saw an all-Ducati podium 14 times. These bikes had become the stormtroopers and Ducati the Empire.
