Danilo Petrucci returns to Barni after signing 2023 WorldSBK deal with Ducati
The addition of Petrucci to WorldSBK completes Ducati’s 2023 line-up after world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Ruben Rinaldi remained at the Aruba.it Ducati team, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Axel Bassani and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Phillip Oettl also stayed put with Moꦕtocorsa and GoEleven respectively.
The Italian has signed a one-year deal at Barni, the same team that he made his Superstock debut with in 201𓆏1.
Petrucci’s return to Barni, this time in WorldSBK, comes after heavy ru🐻mours linking him with a switch to the series last year.
There was also talk of the Italian replacing Rinaldi at the factory team before the latter was also retained on a one-y🔯ear d൩eal.
Runner-uꦐp to Jake Gagne in MotoAmerica in 2022, Petrucci will compete in his third differ﷽ent series since leaving MotoGP at the end of 2021.
"I’m really pleased to be back with Bar𒉰ni," said Petrucci. "2011 was one of my best ever seasons but, more importantly, I couldn’t say no to the chance to race in World Superbike with such a competitive bike.♔
"It’s a championship in which I’𒆙ve never competed, and I can’t wait to measure up against the competition.
"I want to thank the entire Barni team for giving me this opport🐬unity and everybody that has contributed to making this agreement possi♌ble."
With Ducati dominating MotoGP and WorldSBK in 2022 - add to that the Bologna-based brand 𝄹is bringing a brand new Panigale V4 R to the table in 2023 - and Petrucci should be competitive from the outset.
