The MotoGP silly season is in full swing heading into Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix at Mugello, with all eyes on the battle to fill the vacant factory seat at Ducati alongside Francesco Bagnaia.

Factory Ducati rider Bagnaia was finally able to end a barren run stretching all the way back to last year’s Austrian Grand Prix by taking the top spot in the half-distance race at Mugello, beating Gresini’s Marc Marquez by over a second.

At the start of the 11-lap race, the factory Ducatis shot to the front from polesitter Martin, with reigning champion Bagnaia taking the lead from team-mate Enea Bastianini.

While seven races are still to run this year, the grid for the 2025 MotoGP season is already complete.

On Friday at the Italian Grand Prix, Pramac team boss Gino Borsoi told DAZN that his squad will be the only satellite structure with factory Ducatis in 2025.
