“The dominance expressed by Ducati with its bikes, its riders and its technicians in the 2024 MotoGP season will remain forever in the hearts of fans of this sport. I am very happy for Jorge, an incredibly talented rider who grew up with Ducati and together with us realized the dream he had since he was a child. After the crazy joy of 2022 and the ‘victory of awareness’ of 2023, today we want to celebrate the triumph of a system: the “Ducati System”. A system inspired by the teachings of Galileo Galilei, the inventor of the scientific method and modern science. A system that has led us to be the best in track-racing competitions, and which we also apply in the research, design and development of our products, proudly bringing Made in Italy engineering all over the world. I would like to congratulate all the Ducati riders: certainly the World Champion Jorge Martín, but obviously also Pecco, who never gave up until the very end, and then Marc and Enea, who contributed to a record-breaking MotoGP season for our Company. In particular, the top 4 in the overall standings expressed a technical level and a harmony with the Desmosedici GP that was at the limits of imagination. In this scenario, Jorge and Pecco made even more of a difference by staging a duel for the title that was even more balanced than last year. Pecco won more, but Jorge was more tenacious and in the end he is rightly the Champion. The World Title won by Jorge is a beautiful demonstration that love stories can end with a wonderful finale and I struggle to think of a better way to celebrate the work done in recent years with Jorge and with Pramac Racing, which I would like to thank especially in the person of Paolo Campinoti. Thanks to all the people at Ducati and Ducati Corse who made all this possible, being a Ducatista is increasingly a source of pride”.

Luigi Dall’Igna, Ducati Corse GM

“Winning the third World Riders’ Title in a row is fantastic. It confirms once again the strength of the Ducati project, with the commitment and team spirit of all those, riders and Team, who have contributed to making it a winner with incredible continuity, as demonstrated by the numbers of these years. In particular, another page of history is deservedly written today by Jorge Martín at the end of an amazing season, which is the essence of all the work done together. A big round of applause goes to Pecco Bagnaia, because his was also an extraordinary year and the challenge on the track improved both riders: exactly what we believe in. Today’s victory is also, or rather above all, the best way to say goodbye to Pramac Racing, a formidable group of professionals with whom we have worked in harmony for 20 years: to each of them a very strong hug, starting with our friend Paolo Campinoti. 2024 was a stratospheric year for Ducati, in which we broke the record for victories and the record for podiums, with the cherry on top of having placed 8 Desmosedici GP in front of everyone in the Sprint Race in Thailand. I want to thank all the men and women of Ducati Corse who work hard and with passion every day to achieve great results like the one we are celebrating today. Forza Ducati!”

Jorge Martín

“The dream has come true, I am World Champion! It is very difficult now to realize that it is all true, but I am fully aware of what we have achieved because ever since I was a child I have been chasing this goal. This is the final result of all the work done over the years, but also of the sacrifices of my family, my parents, my brother and all my team who have supported me unconditionally. Last year I promised myself that I would try again and here I am, reaping the rewards of an entire life dedicated to this wonderful sport. I want to thank Team Pramac and Ducati for giving me the opportunity to arrive in MotoGP and grow up together. And in particular, a big thank you to Paolo Campinoti and Gigi Dall’Igna for their trust since day one and for providing me with all the resources I needed to become World Champion. The work we have done together with Ducati Corse in these last years has been incredible: we have won the Constructors’ Championship 4 times in a row and together we have achieved 8 victories, 32 podiums and 20 pole positions. The World Title won together is really the best way to say goodbye”.
