Alex Marquez finished in second place at the GP, overtaking Francesco Bagnaia in the Riders’ standings. The team led by Nadia Padovani celebrated a great team result because Fermin Aldeguer finished in fourth position. The special livery could not have been honored better.
The Gresini team is therefore set to play a fundamental role in this season finale in which Ducati is chasing the Riders’ title with Marc Marquez and the Constructors’ title.

Ducati Corse General Manager Luigi Dall’Igna emphasized this aspect to the microphones of Sky. “With Bagnaia we are struggling, there is no point in denying it, we have already said it many times – his words – Di Giannantonio was held back by a technical problem, I expect a very positive final part of the championship from him, Alex came second doing a wonderful race and Fermin himself has shown he is in the game. I don’t think Marc is alone, we have many fast riders to do what is needed from now until the end of the year even if it won’t be easy, we must not make mistakes.”
