Last Monday, Ducati announced the renewal of Francesco Bagnaia until 2026. The rider was the target of a strong investment by the Borgo Panigale manufacturer, who welcomed him to MotoGP in 2019.
Since then, he has already won two rider titles and heads into 2024 as the top favorite to be champion again. Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati, commented on Bagnaia’s contract extension:
– Pecco is truly the perfect rider for Ducati. He embodies our values at their best: style, elegance, and performance. Not only is he fast, determined, and tenacious, but he also stands out for his elegance and manners off the track. I am very pleased with this renewal, which I am sure Ducati fans worldwide will receive with enthusiasm.
