Into the red zone. The Ducati Lenovo factory team coated MotoGP red in all-out victory – Pole Position, Sprint and Grand Prix – and double trophy glory in Thailand with Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia proving that supremacy counts.

Britain expected, and MotoGP delivered for a memorable and commemorative Monster Energy British Grand Prix at Silverstone and the halfway point of the 2024 world championship season. Football, Olympics, F1 and now high-paced and relentless motorcycle racing: the sporting landscape got loud, noisy and rapid for an event that toasted 75 years of MotoGP with cool retro liveries and a general celebratory vibe for the scene.
