It might not be the MotoGP riders' title repeat Ducati have been chasing since 2007, but Francesco Bagnaia and Jack Miller are set to hand the factory the teams' title to add to the c♐onstructors' prize at this weekend's Valencia finale.

It would be the first time Ducati have won the teams' title since sweeping the Triple Crown of riders', constructors' and teams'♍ world championships on the back of Casey Stoneꦡr's extraordinary debut year for the manufacturer in 2007.

A one-three finish for Bagnaia and Miller at Portimao last Sunday gave Ducati t🦹he constructors'🌼 crown and means Ducati Lenovo arrive at Valencia with a 28-point team advantage over Monster Yamaha, which has won the riders' title with Fabio Quartararo.

A maximum of 45 team points are up for grabs this weekend, meaning Ducati should be 'safe'. However, the events of Misano, where both Bagnaia and Miller crashed out on the hard front tyre, will be🌟 f𝓀resh in their minds in what are expected to be cold and perhaps wet conditions.

"After the weekend in Portimão, I feel really charged up for the last race of the season," said Bagnaia, already confirmed as second in the world championship and now s⭕eeking a fourth MotoGP win.

"In the last GP in Portugal, everything was perfect. Since Friday, we had been fast, and we had🐓n't had to make any p🌠articular set-up changes to the bike, so I hope the same will happen here in Valencia.

"This is a track I like a lot, and in𝄹 2020, I was back to having positive sensations on my Desmosedici after two difficult GPs in Arag🌳on.

"This year, we arrive in Valencia at a particul𝓀ar moment, where everything🍬 is going really well, and my feeling with the bike is very good. I'm ready to fight for the win again and try to take the teams' title after winning the constructors' title last week."

Miller, who has won 🌺two races during his debut season as a factory team rider, may also need a strong result on Sunday to defend fourth in the world championship from Pramac's Johann Zarco, currently just two points behind.

"To be back on the podium at Portimão was really good, and now the goal is to finish the season fighting for another good result at Valencia," said th𒉰e Australian. "I am really excited to be racing here again this weekend. It's a really fun track and probably one of my favourites on the calendar.

"The characteristics of the Ducati are well suited to this track, and last year I came very close to winning, so I'll try again this ꦐyear. After the constructors' title, we have a chance to win the teams' title here, so I'll do everything I can to help my team reach that goal too!"

Miller, then at Pramac, lost out on victory by j💖ust 0.093s to Petronas Yamaha's Franco Morbi🎃delli during the second of last year's Valencia rounds.
