It has been revealed that the factory Ducati riders raced with an updated engine specification at the Thai MotoGP.

Ducati ended its preseason testing campaign in mid-February having decided to continue 🃏using its 2024 engine, chassis, and aerodynamics for the 2025 season.

But, after the opening race of the season in Thailand – which was won by the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Ducati Lenovo Team’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez – the Italian fac✨tory has revealed that, in fact, there were already some differences in specification between the engine used by its factory riders and that given to satellite riders Franco Morbidelli, Alex Marquez, and Fermin Aldeguer, all of whom have GP24s of the specification used at last year’s Austrian Grand Prix.
