  • Twenty-fourth win for Pecco with Ducati, which makes him the rider with the most MotoGP race wins ever for the Borgo Panigale manufacturer
  • Five Ducati riders in the top give, with Marc and Alex Márquez (Gresini Racing MotoGP) second and third, respectively, and Franco Morbidelli (Pramac Racing Team) fifth

The Ducati Lenovo Team is triumphant in the German Grand Prix with Francesco Bagnaia, who becomes the winningest rider in Ducati’s MotoGP history while returning to the top of the championship standings. Fourth place for Enea Bastianini after a great battle with Morbidelli.

Bagnaia was third entering turn one and managed to make his way to first position in the following two laps courtesy of two, identical overtaking manoeuvres first on Oliveira and then on Martín at the last corner. During lap six, Pecco was overtaken by Martín and then, moments later, by Morbidelli.

The reigning world champion then lost a little bit of ground but then managed – at the halfway point of the race – to make it back to second position. From then on, a close-quarter battle began between Bagnaia and Martin as the two kept logging very similar lap-times, with the gap being consistently around 0.7secs.

Bagnaia did not give up as he was determined to bridge the gap to his rival while applying pressure on the then-leader. The turn of events took place with two laps left, when Martín crashed out of turn one, leaving clear track ahead to Bagnaia who stormed to his sixth Sunday win of the 2024, in what was the 200th Grand Prix of his career.

Bastianini put together an excellent performance from ninth place of the grid despite a minor setback at the start, as the Ducati rider #23 fought hard first with Marc Márquez and then with Franco Morbidelli. He was eventually fourth at the finish line, despite the many position changes with the latter towards the end of the race.

As he ninth event of the 2024 MotoGP season draws to a close, Bagnaia now sits atop the championship standings with a ten-point lead over Martín, while Bastianini is fourth and 67 points behind his teammate. The Ducati Lenovo Team leads the teams’ standings with 377 points, with Ducati on top of the manufacturers’ one (315 points).

The Ducati Lenovo Team will be back in action on August 2nd for the Monster Energy British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
