This is the 2019 Ducati GP19 Desmosedici up for sale through Iconic Auctioneers. This exact bike was ridden by Andrea Dovizioso during the 2019 MotoGP World Championship where he notched two race wins, seven podiums, and clinched second place in the overall title fight behind Marc Marquez. Its historical aura is palpable, carrying the scars and glory of high stakes racing.
Underneath the aggressive aerodynamic fairing beats Ducati’s 1000cc water cooled V4 engine. A screaming double overhead cam beast paired with a seamless shift gearbox delivers official power exceeding 250bhp and top speeds beyond 220 miles per hour. The chassis is an aluminum twin spar frame and MotoGP specification suspension components including 48mm Öhlins forks and a race tuned rear shock.
Braking duties are handled by carbon discs and Brembo four piston calipers providing immense stopping power needed on world-class circuits. The bike is finished in Mission Winnow liveries, reflecting long term sponsorship ties with Philip Morris, and comes with the factory electronics and starter intact just as it last saw race day.
Notably, this unique GP19 is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Paolo Ciabatti the Ducati Sporting Director and comes complete with UK NOVA paperwork demonstrating all import duties have been fulfilled.
The significant estimate of £500000 to £700000 reflects the rarity and significance of this machine. As a direct factory race bike from one of MotoGP’s most exciting seasons it offers enthusiasts a once in a lifetime chance to acquire a genuine world championship contender steeped in Ducati’s revival story. With the auction set for November at the NEC Classic Motor Show this GP19 will certainly attract fierce bidding from serious collectors and fans.
