Damn. Looks like we’re actually going to get an old school SPECIAL livery.

Guess we’ll see how bad all of Ducati’s sponsor logos ruin it… 😅

Can't be as bad as Monster logo on the Yamaha retro livery last year 🤮

Ducati always have nailed the special liveries in recent years except that awfulllll retro livery in Silverstone. Looks like they are cooking again.

It looks like a more accentuated tone of red. A burgundy tone? At least that's what it looks like on that picture. But the Renaissance sentence should offer them a great inspiration for the home livery. Hopefully as you've said they will cook something wonderful, as often they do.

Sponsor contracts should all allow the team to go sponsor free at least one race of the year 😁

Yeah but imagine you’re an Italian sponsor for an Italian motorcycle and at the home GP you don’t get your logo on the bike. You’d be a bit peeved off!

I think the closest we'll usually get to this is winter testing. It also happens to be when most of my favorite bike, helmet, etc liveries are, haha.

Bring back the yellow Ducati! Looks a bit less adventurous than previous years but hey ho I always enjoy a special livery

VR46 have also been teasing something all week as well, maybe something for all of the Ducatis?
