The factory Duc⭕ati squad will launch its 2025 MotoGP season on Monday 20 January in Italy, marking Marc Marquez's first event in official colours for the brand. 

Ducati will holds its tradi🍒tional launch event in Italy's Madonna di Campiglio ♛ski resort on Monday, where it will unveil its factory colours for the coming MotoGP season. 

Though the marque won the world championship last season courtesy of Pramac's Jorge Mar🦋tin in what was Ducati's most dominant campaign ever in the premier class - with it winning 19 of 20 grands prix  - the factory team came up second-best with Francesco Bagnaia. 

While it had planned originally to promote Mart📖in to its factory squad, Marc Marquez's refusal to take a works bike at Pramac forced Ducati management into a U-turn to give the eight-time world champion the nod instead. 

Martin will race for Aprilia instead in 2025, with the Spaniard unveili✤ng its livery at an event ꧟in Milan last week. 

The 2025 season will mark Marquez's return to being a factory rider, ෴having spent 2024 with the satellite Gresini Ducati squad after he elected🍸 to quit the works Honda team. 

He will join double MotoGP world champion Bagnaia in what is expect꧟ed to be the line-up to ꧟beat in 2025. 

Marquez made his debut with the team in the post-season Barcelona test last November, though rode withoཧut any sponsorship on his bike or leathers.

Ducati's launch event begins at 10am GMT.
