Last Monday, Ducati announced the renewal of Francesco Bagnaia’s contract until 2026. The rider has been the subject of 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 clear 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 represents our values at their best: style, elegance, and performance. Not only is he fast, determined, and tenacious on track, but he also stands out for his elegance and education off the track. I am very happy for this renewal, which I am sure Ducatisti all over the world will welcome with enthusiasm.
