Reigning MotoGP champions Ducati have revealed the livery for their new 2026 bike at a launch event in the Italian alps which also marked the brand's 100 year anniversary.
Following last year's successful launch event in Madonna di Campiglio, the team returned once again to the stunning alpine ski resort to kick off their 2026 campaign.
The Ducati livery is always one of the most striking on the grid and marks one of the most recognisable brands on the MotoGP grid.
2025 was another dominant year for the Italian manufacturer, winning a total of 13 races between their two riders, Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia.
Heading into 2026, they are still firm favourites to clinch both the team and rider honours in what will be the final season of the era.

The team have been known for their iconic red liveries over the years, often producing eye-catching special editions to mark certain races such as their shining yellow in Misano 2023 and the Florentine renaissance livery of Mugello 2025.
This year, at least for the most part, the team will be sticking with their classic red design, though with some slight tweaks from previous years.
Ducati are the fourth team on the grid so far to launch their livery for the season ahead, following presentations from Pramac Yamaha, VR46 and Aprilia earlier in the week.
