This season, Pramac Ducati will celebrate 20 years of existence at the highest level of motorcycle racing. A course that boss Paolo Campinoti does not take lightly. Like Lucio Cecchinello, who will want to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his LCR team with the jubilation of victory, the boss of Pramac Racing also has the ambition to uncork a few bottles of Prosecco on the podiums. An idea that isn't crazy because he has the bikes and the riders for it...
Bow Ducati presented himself and announced himself ready for the 20th season in the World Championship MotoGP. The team will be equipped with Desmosedici GP21 and will welcome newcomers in the person of Johann zarco and Jorge Martin who are just waiting to do well during this 2021 vintage.
On Thursday afternoon, the Pramac look for the new MotoGP season was revealed with the help of a digital presentation. For the second year in a row, the two Pramac drivers will benefit from the latest generation Desmosedici. But this time, the composition of the box is completely new. After Jack Miller et Pecco Bagnaia have been promoted to the Borgo Panigale factory team for 2021, Johann zarco, 30 years old and the beginner George Martin, 23 years old, are the new residents of the satellite structure Ducati.
« This year is very important for us because it is the 20th season of Pramac Racing in the MotoGP paddock ", said the team owner Paolo Campinoti. " It's a special year, and we can also say that we will have four drivers to be satisfied. The fact that we have helped Pecco and Jack into the factory team is a wonderful result for us for the 2020 season ».
Pramac Ducati combines youth and maturity
« We are equally happy that two very strong drivers are joining us » continues the boss. “ One is a rookie with enormous talent, Jorge Martin. And with Johann Zarco we will have an experienced driver. We can therefore combine youth and maturity. I think it will be a great season ».
It will be recalled that the double Moto2 world champion Johann zarco gave Avintia Esponsorama its first pole position and first podium in the premier class last year in Brno, and he is entering his fifth season in MotoGP.
The newcomer in the category Martin, 3 Moto2018 World Champion on the Gresini Honda, celebrated two Moto2 victories last year. However, his title dreams were dashed when he missed two Grands Prix due to a Covid-19 infection. However, he is now the only rookie equipped in GP21, unlike the Moto2 world champion Enea Bastianini and vice-champion Luca Marini who will be on GP19s.
