Following a similar path to MotoGP world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia, Bautista will either swap from his traditional #19 or use the #1 which has b🃏een a constant presence between champions of late.

Unlike MotoGP where the last rider to use the #1 as a defending champion was 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Casey Stoner, WorldSBK champions have often donned𒊎 the #1, with Carlos Chꦓeca the last rider not to do so over ten years ago.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Tom Sykes, Sylvain Guintoli, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jonathan Rea and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu all changed to the #1 after winning🔜 their maiden titles.&nbs🐎p;

“I think I made the decision,” said Bautista on his social media. “But if you want to see what number I put on this bike, pay close attention. Monday at 10.30, Spain and Italy time, you will all see it. I've already made myꦏ decision but I hope you like it."

Like the Spaniard, Bagnaia is also yet to publicly ꦍannounce what number he will ꩵchoose, although the Italian is yet to make a decision unlike Bautista. 

If Bagnaia goes ahead with the #1 then it will be the first time since 2012 that it has been used in MotoGP, after 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Lorenzo, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez, Joan Mir and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo all chose not to run the number. 

Bautista and Michael Ruben Rinaldi will officially be unveiling tไheir brand n𓆉ew 2023 Panigale V4 R on Monday, January 23, alongside the Lenovo Ducati MotoGP Team. 

Both Bautista and Rinaldi wi꧑ll then be on-track for the first time this year as they take part in a twꦚo-day test at Jerez on January 25-26. 

Also making their fi⛄rst appearances on the new Panigale V4 R will be all thr💮ee satellite Ducati riders Axel Bassani, Danilo Petrucci and Phillip Oettl.  

Ducati are the only manufacturer 🐷to have their 2023 bike launch confirmed as of now, although more announcements are expected soon.
