Ducati win MotoGP and WSKB championships
|
|
| |
For the first time, the Bologna factory has clinched the MotoGP™ and WorldSBK titles in the same year. Their first MotoGP championship since Casey Stoner took the title in 2007 and 11 years since Carlos Cheka won them the WSBK title in 2011.

Francesco Bagnaia and Ducati are 2022 MotoGP World Champions
Bagnaia became the first Ducati rider in 15 years to win the world title last week in the 2022 season finale in Valencia, while becoming the first rider ever to have overturned a 91-point deficit and suffer five DNFs to be crowned champion.
When asked if he felt like a world champion yet at that time, Bagnaia added: “No, sincerely no. But I said already that I will give one week to Ducati to let me do what they want and then I will turn off my phone to think and to relax.”

Ducati Scramblers updated
|
|
| |
 |
| |
|
| |
The Scrambler next-gen expands, becoming more colourful and irreverent.
The new generation of Ducati Scrambler has been completely redesigned, retaining the spirit that has made this family a worldwide success: an essential, fun, easy-to-ride motorcycle with a great personality, whose uniqueness emerges even stronger thanks to an eye-catching, modern style.
The result of this recipe are three Ducati Scrambler models: Icon, Full Throttle and Nightshift.
Three differently styled motorcycles, united by a relaxed riding position and low weight, to offer enthusiasts great riding pleasure, on urban journeys as well as on out-of-town trips.
