This result is concrete proof of the excellent work carried out by Ducati Corse together with all our Teams and riders. The Panigale V4 R continues to be an extraordinary bike, capable of combining performance, reliability, and competitiveness at the highest levels. This title confirms the strength of our technical project. The streak of victories and podiums achieved by Nicolò Bulega and Iker Lecuona is truly something incredible that would have been difficult to imagine at the beginning of the season. I would especially like to thank Stefano Cecconi for the sporting management of this group and Marco Zambenedetti for the technical contribution, not only during this season but also for the extraordinary results achieved over the last five years. A heartfelt thank you also goes to everyone involved in the project for the work, passion, and dedication shown, which today allow us to celebrate our fifth consecutive Manufacturers’ title. We will continue to work with the same determination and commitment to remain key players in future challenges as well”.
