With the world title for riders already secured this Sunday, the winner of the team championship in WSBK still needed to be decided. However, Álvaro Bautista’s victory in race 2 secured the Triple Crown.
In a race that was absolutely on the edge and where Toprak Razgatlioglu even crossed the finish line in first place – but would end up being penalized one position for touching the green part of the track on the last lap – the winner turned out to be Bautista, with the Italian manufacturer thus securing the team title.
Serafino Foti, Team Manager of Aruba.it Racing – Ducati, did not hide his happiness at this achievement: ‘It was a fantastic season, we managed to win all three titles and we won the last one at the end of the last race. There are not many words to say, except to thank our fantastic riders, the whole team, all the people at Ducati working at home, and of course, Aruba.it and all our sponsors’.
The manager also left a word of thanks to Michael Ruben Rinaldi, not forgetting Nicolò Bulega, winner of the WSSP and who in 2024 will take the place of the Italian: ‘I would like to thank Michael for these three years we spent together. They were three exciting seasons and we wish him all the best for the future. A special thanks obviously goes to Álvaro and Nicolò, who were the architects of an unforgettable era’.
