The Barni Spark Ducati Superbike team presented itself last Sunday, and the red and black will always accompany Danilo Petrucci.
The 33-year-old Italian will do a second season with the team Marco Barnabo, still riding a red and black Ducati Panigale V4 R, but hopes to improve from his ranking in his rookie year, 7th, just 21 points behindAxel Bassani, promoted this year to Kawasaki factory rider.
In 2023, the nickname petrux took his first WorldSBK podium at Donington Park with a third place before adding two more to his collection at Most. When WorldSBK resumed after the mid-season break, Danilo Petrucci was on course for three top-five finishes before a technical issue in Race 2 at Magny-Cours dropped him to seventh place. His goal of winning in WorldSBK, MotoGP, MotoAmerica, Dakar, STK600 and STK1000 is still possible, and as he only misses victory in Superbike to enter the history books. Will 2024 be the year of the Guiness Book for the most eclectic pilot of the moment?
Very active as always, the transalpine team, based between Milan and Bergamo, also lines up Yari Montella in Supersport, Michele Pirro in CIV Superbike and Edward Aquilano in CIV Supersport.
