The 2020 Portuguese GP will remain a memorable event in the history of Ducati in MotoGP; after 13 years since its first success in 2007, the Bologna-based manufacturer has won its second Constructors' World Title in the Premier Class in the final round of the 2020 season. Thanks to Jack Miller's (Pramac Racing Team) second place taken on the last lap, Ducati was able to end on top of the standings with 221 points a difficult season, made even more challenging by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Ducati Team riders Andrea Dovizioso and Danilo Petrucci, Pramac Racing Team riders Jack Miller and Francesco Bagnaia, and Johann Zarco of the Esponsorama Racing Team are the riders who contributed with their placings to the achievement of this goal.Among the most important results taken by the five riders with the Ducati Desmosedici GP bikes, there are undoubtedly Dovizioso's victory at the Austrian GP in August and his third-place taken at Jerez, Petrucci's success at Le Mans in a tricky wet race, the four podiums obtained by Miller in the Austrian GP, the Styrian GP, the penultimate round in Valencia and Portimao, Bagnaia's second place at his home track in Misano Adriatico and Zarco's third place in Brno.In addition to Ducati's success, the 2020 Portugese GP was Andrea Dovizioso's last race aboard the Desmosedici, which saw him finishing second in the Championship for three years in a row (2017-2018-2019), and taking a total of 14 wins, 40 podiums, and six pole positions with the factory team. Also for Danilo Petrucci, it was his last GP after two years with the Ducati Team and four with the Pramac Racing Team.
Commenting on the win, Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati Motor Holding, said, "Winning the Constructors' World Title is very rewarding, especially after a year so complicated that has forced us to overcome obstacles and situations we had never experienced before. It has been a bizarre season, but working together our engineers and all the Ducati riders have managed to make the Desmosedici GP competitive on all the circuits on the Championship calendar, taking it on the podium on eight occasions, including two wins. Thanks to Andrea Dovizioso, Danilo Petrucci, Jack Miller, Pecco Bagnaia, and Johann Zarco for allowing us to add a second Constructors' World Title to our MotoGP history. And thanks also to the entire Ducati Corse department for once again demonstrating that with passion, dedication, and determination, you can achieve important results like this. I take this opportunity to wish Andrea and Danilo good luck for what the future holds. They have been with us for many years, and together we have lived great moments, thanks for everything".
Similarly, Luigi Dall'Igna, Ducati Corse General Manager, added "Winning the Constructors' World Title is certainly an important goal for Ducati because it demonstrates the goodness of the technological innovations that have been developed in recent years and that today are on the Desmosedici GP. It has certainly been a difficult season, especially after the introduction of the new rear tyre and the impossibility to do tests during the year that would have allowed us to study better its behaviour. Despite this, the Desmosedici GP has been a competitive bike on almost every track. Therefore, we are satisfied with the results obtained in this 2020, and that have allowed us to reach our second Constructors' World Title in MotoGP. Thanks to all the Ducati Corse staff, riders and teams, that with their work and commitment have allowed us to achieve this important victory".
