MotoGP, Sportrik Media - Marc Marquez of Ducati Corse clinched the 2025 MotoGP title at the Japan Grand Prix, earning high praise from Ducati General Manager Gigi Dall’Igna. Once a Ducati rival, Marquez’s heroic performance revealed why MotoGP was tough to conquer in his prime.
Marquez’s Dominant 2025 Campaign
Marquez secured his seventh MotoGP title with a second-place finish in Japan on September 28, 2025, behind teammate Pecco Bagnaia. His first Ducati crown, six years after a career-halting 2020 arm injury, saw him win 11 Grand Prix races and 14 sprints, nearly single-handedly securing Ducati’s constructors’ title. “He dominated the season with unbelievable work,” Dall’Igna told the official MotoGP site.
Risky Road to Redemption
Leaving a lucrative Repsol Honda Team contract in 2023, Marquez joined Gresini Racing to rebuild confidence. This bold move, per Dall’Igna, paid off. “He took a fantastic path to recover,” he said, noting few global athletes match Marquez’s comeback. His 2025 factory Ducati seat cemented his speed and adaptability.
Why Marquez Is Unbeatable
Initially hesitant to sign Marquez, Dall’Igna now sees why Ducati struggled to win titles against him. “I understand why it took us so long to win; Marc is unbelievable on track,” he said. Marquez’s clear feedback, calm problem-solving, and relentless drive to win make him a dream collaborator. “He wants to win. Simple,” Dall’Igna added.
Legacy and Future Prospects
Marquez’s recovery from severe injury places him among sport’s elite. Sportrik analysis deems his 2025 dominance, on a less-than-perfect bike, proof of unmatched prowess. This title opens a new chapter, with Ducati poised for more triumphs alongside #93.
