The current world champions will present an all-new Ducati Panigaꦫle V4 R after the 2019 model was replaced 🙈for this year. 

The factory Aruba.it Ducati team will be presenting their new machine alongside the Lenovo Ducati MotoGP team. 

2022 was the Italian manufacturer’s most successful year after winning both the MotoGP and WorldSBK titles with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista.

Unlike in MotoGP, the factory WorldSBK team will remain unchanged in 2023 as Bautista defends his crown after signing a one-year deal midwa through last season, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Ruben Rinaldi returns for his third campaign with the team.

Rinaldi held off 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Axel Bassani to remai🦄n alongside Bautista, however, performances will need to improve for the Italian if he’s to be rewarded with another new deal for 2024.

As of now Aruba.it Ducati are the only team to announce an official bike launch date, which is scheduled ▨to take place two days before the opening pre-season test of 2023.

What will be the last test in Jerez before Portimao and Phillip Island play host to their own two-day tests, Bautista and Rinaldi are expected to be in action alongside fellow Ducati riders, Bassani, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Phillip Oettl and WorldSBK rookie 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Danilo Petrucci
