For the Catalan-based manufacturer, founded in Martorelles in 1922 and now part of the Piaggio Group, the title earned today on the Phillip Island track is the twentieth world title summing the nine manufacturer titles with the eleven wreaths earned by Derbi riders.

Great champions have raced and won with the Derbi. To name a few, Jorge Martínez 'Aspar' (32 victories on the Derbi), Angel Nieto (30 victories), Japanese rider Youichi Ui (11), Jorge Lorenzo (4) and Frenchman Mike di Meglio (4).

The nine Manufacturer titles have been earned by Derbi in the 125 class (4 times), 250 class (twice) and 50 cc (3 times).

This year Derbi had already celebrated an historic mile marker: one hundred victories in Moto GP, thanks once again to Marquez, who won in August in the German GP round.
With today's win, Derbi chalks up 105 GP victories.
