Ducati has paired two drivers who have become world champions, namely Casey Stoner and Nicky Hayden. Stoner is the 2007 MotoGP champion and Nicky Hayden is the best rider in the 2006 MotoGP.

The two talented racers were a duet in 2009 and 2010. Unfortunately, when they were duets, there was no championship title that came to the Ducati garage.

Lorenzo’s last MotoGP title was won in 2015 in a duet with Rossi. Uniquely, Rossi is Lorenzo’s rival in the race for the title that season. Lorenzo and Rossi were involved in hot competition, both in the first and second period at Yamaha.
