NaikMotor – Ducati meraih MotoGP Podium Lock-Out pertamanya di MotoGP Valencia 2021 setelah memenangkan balapan terakhir musim ini bersama Francesco Bagnaia, Jorge Martin, dan Jack Miller.
Menguasai podium lewat kemenangan Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo), Martin (Pramac Racing), dan Miller (Ducati Lenovo), pabrikan Bologna ini pun berhasil mencatat Podium Lock-Out perdana mereka. Di belakang trio Ducati, ada Joan Mir (Suzuki Ecstar) dan Juara Dunia MotoGP musim ini, Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP).
Berakhirnya balapan musim ini berarti berakhir pula masa karir Valentino Rossi (Petronas Yamaha SRT) sebagai pembalap. Ia pensiun di usia 42 tahun dan tengah menanti anak pertamanya yang berjenis kelamin perempuan dari sang kekasih, Francesca Sofia Novello.
