Ducati Teases Renaissance-Inspired Special Livery for Mugello MotoGP 2025: Marquez and Bagnaia to Ride as "Modern Knights". |
This weekend’s Italian Grand Prix at Mugello won’t just be about racing—Ducati Lenovo Team is adding an artistic twist by teasing a special livery for their factory riders Francesco Bagnaia and current championship leader Marc Marquez. And this year, the inspiration isn’t about sports tournaments—it's about history and heritage.
Ducati Goes Renaissance at Mugello
In a teaser posted on their official social media accounts, Ducati hinted at a unique and sparkling design with the tagline:
“Italian excellence, made of art and ingenuity.”
The new livery is said to be a tribute to the Italian Renaissance, which originated in Florence—just 55km (34 miles) from the Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello. Bagnaia and Marquez are being portrayed as “modern knights” riding through history in machines inspired by legends like Leonardo da Vinci and Niccolò Machiavelli.
“Leonardo. Machiavelli. Two souls. Two visions. Now reborn in racing form.”
No official images of the livery have been revealed yet, but it is expected to be unveiled on Saturday night or Sunday morning, just ahead of race day.
Mugello: Ducati’s Winning Playground
Let’s talk records—Francesco Bagnaia has owned Mugello for the past three seasons, winning the Grand Prix three years in a row. He’s also claimed victory in both Sprint races held at the circuit. That makes him the rider to beat at this track.
On the other hand, Marc Marquez arrives with only one MotoGP win at Mugello, back in 2014 during his legendary 10-race winning streak. But in 2025, he comes in as the championship leader, holding a 32-point lead over his brother Alex Marquez, who has had success at this track too—though in Moto2, including a race win.
From National Blue to Historical Gold
Last year, Ducati showed up in blue livery to honor Italy's national teams ahead of the UEFA Euro and the Olympics. With no major international sports events this summer, Ducati went a different route—celebrating Florentine history and artistic genius.
The Renaissance was a time of revolutionary ideas, innovation, and beauty. Now, Ducati wants to channel that same spirit on the racetrack, fusing heritage and high-performance racing.
Of Course, the Monster Claw Remains
Even with all the artistry and elegance of the Renaissance, one modern brand still leaves its mark—the iconic green Monster Energy claw is expected to remain on the bikes, giving the livery a bold, edgy contrast.
With Marquez’s consistent form and Bagnaia’s domination at Mugello, Ducati fans are expecting more than just pretty bikes—they’re hoping for another 1-2 finish.
Ducati is once again proving that MotoGP is not just a race—it’s an experience. With a Renaissance-themed livery inspired by Florence, the team brings together art, history, and speed in one unforgettable package.
Make sure to tune in on June 22, 2025, for what could be one of the most memorable MotoGP races of the season—both on and off the track.
