Factory Ducati WorldSBK Livery Unveiled

The factory Ducati WorldSBK team has officially revealed its 2025 colours as Alvaro Bautista and Nicolo Bulega were present at the launch in Italy, which took place alongside the unveiling of Ducati’s new factory MXGP team which is also sponsored by Aruba.it.

Very little has changed with the Panigale V4 R colours from last season as Ducati will look to regain the title it lost to BMW’s Toprak Razgatlioglu. While Bautista had a disappointing 2024 season after winning the title the previous two years, team-mate Bulega was a revelation for the Bologna-based brand.

Bulega, a rookie in 2024 after winning the Supersport title in 2023, finished second in the championship and pushed the title fight down to the wire at Jerez before ultimately losing out to Razgatlioglu.

Speaking at the launch Ducati Corse General Manager, Gigi Dall’Igna, said: "A new season is beginning in WorldSBK with the same goal as always for the Aruba.it Racing Ducati Team: to fight for the riders’ world title that we did not win last year and try to bring it back to Borgo Panigale.

“This is our mission, and we will give everything to achieve the goal. It is a tough challenge, we are aware of the level of our rivals, but we know what to do, we have already demonstrated it in the past.

“We know perfectly the potential of our riders, Alvaro Bautista and Nicolo Bulega, who have been World Champions in several categories and who in 2024 fought for the World Championship until the end and were competitive in almost every race with the Panigale V4 R.”

Both Bautista and Bulega will be in action at the start of next week as the final pre-season test takes place at Phillip Island, before the 2025 opener at the same venue kicks off a few days later on 21 February.
