History has a funny habit of repeating itself and that rings especially true for Ducati in MotoGP.
At the Spanish Grand Prix this year, Marc Marquez scored his first grand prix podium aboard the Gresini-run 2023-spec Ducati he ditched the factory Honda for. As the Italian GP approaches, a sequence of win milestones throughout Ducati's history corresponding to rider numbers could be added to by Marquez. Back at the second round of the current MotoGP campaign in Portugal, Martin – carrying the #89 on his Pramac-run bike – scored Ducati's 89th grand prix win.
