Ducati Brings the Heat to Silverstone in May

Ducati Brings the Heat to Silverstone in May

For the first time ever, the British GP lands in May and Ducati riders Marc Márquez and Pecco Bagnaia are ready to shake things up at Silverstone in the 2025 MotoGP season.

MotoGP fans, buckle up—Silverstone just got a spring makeover. For the first time ever, the British Grand Prix is rolling out in May, not August, and the Ducati Lenovo Team is heading to the UK early, hungry for more silverware.

Usually associated with unpredictable summer showers, Silverstone in May might actually offer better conditions this time around. And that’s good news for the Desmosedici GP, a bike that’s already tasted victory here more than once—Dovi in 2017, Pecco in 2022, and Bastianini last year. Add in Stoner’s Donington wins from 2007 and 2008, and Ducati’s British record is looking pretty stacked.

Marc Márquez: Sprint King, Title Leader, and On a Mission

Marc Márquez is showing everyone why you should never count him out. After taming the chaos at Le Mans and smashing a new record with six straight Sprint wins, the eight-time world champ heads into Silverstone with the red plate and all the momentum.

He’s only won here once—back in 2014—but now he’s riding a Ducati, and that changes everything.

“I’m looking for confirmation,” Marc said. “France was great for the championship, and I’m starting to feel more and more in tune with the bike. We’re going to keep grinding.”

Sitting on 171 points, he’s officially back in the title fight. And maybe, just maybe, Silverstone is where he makes his biggest statement yet on a red bike.

Bagnaia: Time to Reset and Reload

Let’s be real—Le Mans was brutal for Pecco Bagnaia. After showing a strong pace all weekend, he walked away with zero points and two crashes. Ouch.

But if there’s a track to bounce back at, it’s Silverstone. Bagnaia knows this place well—a win in 2022, and three straight podiums. The vibes are good here, and he’s looking to get his season back on track.

“The French weekend was frustrating. I felt fast, but things didn’t go our way,” Pecco said. “I love racing at Silverstone—it suits my style, and I’m ready to reset.”

Currently third in the standings with 120 points, he’s got work to do. But we can expect him to turn things around and be on top.

The Track: Fast, Flowing, and Full of Surprises

Silverstone is long (5.9 km), technical, and seriously fast. Think 18 corners, eye-watering top speeds (Ducati’s Bastianini hit 340.6 km/h here), and a lap record just shy of 1:57.

It’s the kind of track that rewards commitment and punishes hesitation.

With Friday practice kicking off on May 23 at 11:45 AM local time, riders don’t have much time to adapt to the cooler spring grip levels. Expect fireworks from the start.
