It's going to look better than the MXGP bike, but it still needs a nose job. That front end is hideous.
Right, and right.
Barcia going to give Ducati their first win at A1. Stamp it!

Would you like to bet on that?
Odd to have Red Bull in the USA and Monster for the GP team.
Does Red Bull Ducati cause concern to KTM for their future? Probably not yet.
Hope Troy Lee and the team can find success. Big fan of his gear and designs. Legend.
Would be nice if we could actually see the bike.
Can’t be as bad as the glacial reveal of the triumph a few years ago!
How do we not have some bigger players yet in 2025 as title sponsors? Thankful for RedBull and Monster but is the funder well truly that dry? Exciting to see Ducati enter the fray.
Can’t wait to see a side by side of the MXGP bike vs what Troy has planned.
Outside of a year here and there, has there every been consistent big brand sponsorship? Even the bigger motorsports like Nascar and Indy are having issues, and I would think that those would be way easier to explain to a board or on an earnings call then moto when we currently have deegs as the face to most of the audience.
Yeah it's really odd. Ducati has Monster as the team sponsor in all other major series they participate in (MotoGP, WSBK and MXGP).
I get it that TLD has a very longstanding relationship with Red Bull but i doubt Monster is happy with seeing a Red Bull Ducati out there. But we've seen it before with Husqvarna being Red Bull in MXGP and Rockstar in America.
I like this move for Barcia. He has gone a little bit out of the spot light in recent years despite still being fast.
He now has a bit of an underdog story on a new/unproven bike, a position I think he could thrive in. He also seems one of the less fussy/whiny riders when it comes to bikes and set up, so if the Ducati has some flaws I imagine he will be able to work through them.
This is it man. Same bike, just with some stickers on it. It's been out for a year now.
Pit Row
The caption says "What do you think of the Desmo in Red Bull and TLD livery?" and I just thought it was kinda funny considering they didn't even show the whole thing.

That’s not the livery from the video.
The old Red Bull TLD Honda's were some of the best looking bikes in the pits, looks like they finally have that look back.
Ahhh, same bike, just with stickers. Should have asked, 'I wonder what stickers they'll put on it'? 🤣 (I love stirring on Vital, it's so easy!) (I'd downvote myself too if I could, thanks guys!)
As much as I've always loved the TLD Honda/KTM/Gasgas look, especially the original Red Bull style since 08 (below), it would have been cool to see Troy throw a little design flair in and slightly change up the look a bit after 18 years considering his artistic side!
Either way, looks like it'll be a very smart bike - when do we get a complete look?
Teasers suck!
can we please use the word "graphics"? livery or whatever they say is gay as phuck!
I agree, we aren’t European no need to emulate them with our vocabulary.
What kit do you guys think the riders will be wearing to go with the livery? 😉
Yea, speak English you euro bastards!
