Last year, the local hero Franceso Bagnaia of Ducati Lenovo team won the Italian MotoGP by a razor-thin margin of just 1.067s ahead of Pramac's Jorge Martin. This time around, the Italian rider has already secured three victories out of the seven races held so far, and again he is the most genuine contender for the home race and the championship title.
Bagnaia holds the second position in the championship standings, just trailing the leader Martin by 41 points. The Italian race will witness the factory Ducati team in a new light blue livery specially made for the weekend. Inspired by the nation's colours - blue, white, and golden, the Desmosedici GP24 has been painted specially for the 23 laps of Mugella ride.
