Marc Marquez has been revealed in factory Ducati red at the Ducati Lenovo Team launch.

At an event in Madonna di Campiglio, the Ducati Lenovo Team became the fourth MotoGP team to release its 2025 livery.

However, the main part of the event for many in the world of MotoGP was seeing Marc Marquez in red. The eight-time World Champion was in red at the Barcelona Test, but this was his first moment in official Ducati red.

After 11 years in the factory Honda garage, a move to the factory Ducati garage was an ’emotional’ moment for Marquez.

“This is really exciting I have a lot of experience in MotoGP, but joining a new benchmark team is such an emotional moment for me,” Marquez said during the event.

“This is the starting moment of a new project for me and I am so happy to be here. I fought against Ducati so much but now I have gained my smile back. This is a privilege.”

Much has been said about Marquez’s relationship with his new teammate, Francesco Bagnaia. The Spaniard was asked about his aims for the 2025 MotoGP season. Marquez gave a very diplomatic answer in front of the Ducati team bosses.

“Well, this is a benchmark team in MotoGP,” Marquez stated. “In the last four years, Ducati has always been the reference for everyone. They already had a very powerful bike, but as Gigi [Dall’Igna] said we want to win the riders, constructors and team championships.

“We want to work and ride together as a team, it is not about who wins but the team, the constructors and everyone. Let’s see at the end where we are at in the standings.”
