WorldSBK testing comes into focus today and to﷽morrow with an Official two days of actio🍬n in Barcelona which will see Chaz Davies get his first laps with GoEleven Ducati. 

The Welsh rider goes into his tenth season in World Superbike, but first since 2014 where he won’t be in ๊the factory Ducati team. 

Davies ꦰis a three-time championship runner-up to ꦏJonathan Rea, and has been one of the most consistent riders in the series’ history. 

Davies sits seven🧸th on the all time winners list with 32 wins, but was repl൩aced by Michael Ruben-Rinaldi for the 2021 campaign.

It has not been the smoothest pre-season so far for the 34 year-old who rec🍃ently had C🅠ovid-19, but Davies has since made a full recovery ahead of the Official test. 

Speaking ahead of his first action with Team GoEleven Ducati, Davies said: "Finally, I will get the opportunity to join up with Go Elevꦕen in t⭕his circuit. 

"It has been a long awaited debut with the new Team, but it looks like we are there! I recovered from Cov⛄id, so we can certainly make our first steps on track𝓡. 

"For the test itse🌠lf, obviously, after a long time not riding the bike the objectives are quite basic and simple. 

"I just need to ride again, to 𓆏recover the feeling and I think just enjoy the two days, enjoy working with my new crew and noth🐎ing really more than that. 

"There are no parts 🐭really to test, so basically we just have to sta🎃rt the new season."
