OFFICIAL: Danilo Petrucci To 2022 MotoAmerica

Former MotoGP rider and 2022 Dakar Rally stage winner, Danilo Petrucci will return to track racing after officially confirming that he will race at the 2022 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship.

The Italian is set to enter race with Warhorse HSBK Ducati Racing onboard the Ducati Panigale V4.

He was previously confirmed to enter the race but needed the paperwork to be completed before making the official announcement.

The day has officially arrived and the former Ducati rider is excited over his return on a Ducati machine.

“I’m so happy that I am coming back to race with Ducati and I would like to give a special thank you to all the Ducait people who made this project possible,” said Petrucci in a statement.

“I spoke about this project with Eraldo Ferracci (Advisor, Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati NY) at Circuit of the Americas last year and all the management including Claudio Domenicali, Gigi Dall’Igna, Paolo Ciabatti and Davide Tardozzi, and they were really happy to have me on board again.”

The 31-year-old Italian will ride a factory-build Ducati Panigale V4 R in the MotoAmerica series on April 8th.

CONFIRMED: Danilo Petrucci To Compete At The 2022 MotoAmerica

Former MotoGP rider Danilo Petrucci has confirmed that he will compete in the MotoAmerica this season.

The ex-Ducati and KTM will ride aboard a factory-backed Ducati in the 2022 MotoAmerica series.

The Italian has been making headlines the past few weeks after an impressive debut at the 2022 Dakar Rally with KTM, where he scored a historic stage win despite not being classified in overall standing after retiring at Stage 2.

With his challenge at the historic race now over, Petrucci will set his sights on the 2022 MotoAmerica, which he confirms will compete with factory-backed Dark Horse HSBK Ducati Panigale V4 R.

Meanwhile, the two-time MotoGP race winner shared his excitement ahead of the 2022 season.

“It’s a life experience.

“I have the opportunity to live abroad and ride motorbikes, which is the thing I love most. I have always been in love with the United States, and I love the lifestyle over there, the open spaces.

“Every winter, I fly to California, rent a bike, and go ride for a couple of weeks in between Los Angeles and San Diego. Last time I went to Ocotillo, and I have friends there like Giacomo Redondi, who is currently racing cross-country in the US,” said Petrucci.

Interestingly, Petrucci revealed that although Ducati replaced him with Jack Miller for the 2021 season, the Italian marquee was the one who reached out to him regarding the prospect of racing in America.

“I’m happy because it was Ducati that contacted me.

“They did everything to get me. It’s very satisfying. When I left the MotoGP Ducati factory team, I remained on good terms with Claudio Domenicali, Gigi Dall’Igna, Paolo Ciabatti and Davide Tardozzi.

“They pushed to have me in MotoAmerica, and it’s a satisfaction,” he added.

Petrucci isn’t the first ex-MotoGP ride to enter MotoAmerica, with Toni Elias enjoying success after leaving the World Championship.

2022 Dakar: Danilo Petrucci Takes Maiden Dakar Stage Win

Danilo Petrucci just became the first former MotoGP rider to win a Dakar Rally stage at the 2022 Dakar.

It was an exceptional Day 5 for the Italian after finishing stage four at third place, his first-ever podium after leaving MotoGP.

While some might suggest it was pure luck, that thought was single-handedly shut down by Petrucci as he came out on top of Stage 5 despite getting into his first Dakar crash.

“Today was quite a long day. I set off this morning and decided I really wanted to learn and improve my navigation, so I didn’t push too hard at the beginning.

“After one corner there was a large dune with a group of camels on the other side. One big camel came into the track, and I had to avoid it but ended up crashing after going across a lot of bumps and camel grass.

“That was my very first crash of this Dakar. After that I eased off a bit and Kevin caught up with me and we rode together towards the finish,” said Petrucci.

Despite coming in second place, 4 minutes 14 seconds behind fellow KTM Toby Price, the latter was handed a six-minute penalty for speeding, subsequently handing Petrucci his first Dakar stage win in just his fifth attempt.

Petrucci started the endurance rather strongly, storming the first stage at 13th place.

However, his KTM 450 Rally suffered a mechanical issue during Stage 2 after passing kilometre 115, which also ended his chance to finish the 2022 Dakar within the classification.

Nevertheless, he bounced back in Stage 3 and got to finish in 22nd place, 9 minutes 21 seconds off the winner.

Two-time motocross world champion, Heinz Kinigadner had high praise for the KTM rider who is considered a rookie in Dakar.

“Danilo Petrucci rode incredibly in the fourth stage. He made rally aces look almost ridiculous on Wednesday, to the point of embarrassing them,” he said.

2022 Dakar: Danilo Petrucci Ends Stage 4 At Third Place

Former MotoGP rider, Danilo Petrucci managed to overcome his frustration to complete the fourth stage at third place.

The Italian had to sit out the second stage of the race after his KTM 450 Rally suffered mechanical problems.

He then bounced back to complete the 3rd stage at 22nd place before securing a podium in stage four of the race.

The ex-Ducati and KTM rider secured a third-place finish behind Pablo Quintanilla and Joan Barreda, who came out on top with his Honda.

The result saw Petrucci emerge as the best rookie of the day despite crossing the finish line with a 7-minute gap to Barreda.

Nevertheless, in terms of overall standings, Sam Sunderland (GASGAS Factory Racing) retains his lead of the race ahead of Matthias Walkner (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) and Adrien van Beveren (Monster Energy Yamaha Rally Team).

Danilo Petrucci Headed To MotoAmerica After Dakar

Danilo Petrucci is making headlines in the 2022 Dakar Rally after finishing 13th overall after Stage 1B.

However, the former MotoGP rider had to be rescued by a helicopter after his KTM 450 Rally broke down, which effectively ended his bid for a good result in his debut.

Nevertheless, another rumour is going around that the ex-Ducati and KTM rider is heading to MotoAmerica for the 2022 season.

The Italian confirmed the news during an interview with Motosan.es.

“After MotoGP and the Dakar, I will go to MotoAmerica,” said Petrucci.

According to rumours, Petrucci will ride onboard a Ducati Panigale V4 R at the American series next season with the HSBK Racing team.

Despite no official confirmation from both parties, Petrucci impending arrival to MotoAmerica will certainly up the level of competition and the race profile of racing in the US.

Nevertheless, the Italian rider carries on with other forms of fitness training at home.

While Petrucci remains hopeful to heal in time, the 31-year-old Italian is hit with another drawback. This time, his PCR test result came back as positive on December 30, 2021.

Aprilia Dan KTM Dalam Perancangan Petrucci Bagi Musim 2021

Pelumba Ducati, Danilo Petrucci, mendedahkan perancangan utamanya adalah untuk kekal dalam MotoGP dengan menjadikan Aprilia dan KTM sebagai destinasi berikutnya bagi musim 2021.

Selepas kehilangan tempatnya bersama pasukan Borgo Panigale bagi musim 2021 kepada Jack Miller, Plan A Petrucci adalah untuk terus kekal dalam MotoGP meskipun terdapat khabar angin dia akan dipancing pasukan WorldSBK.

Bagaimanapun, dia melihat Aprilia dan KTM sebagai destinasi seterusnya.

Aprilia telah pun beberapa kali mendekati Petrucci sebelum ini namun dia memilih untuk kekal bersama Ducati namun peluang itu masih terbuka seandainya Andrea Iannone perlu menjalani penggantungan 18 bulan susulan gagal ujian doping.

“Sebelum ini, kami telah pun beberapa kali berbincang dengan Aprilia tetapi saya terus kekal bersama Ducati.

“Jentera baharu Aprilia menampakkan peningkatan tetapi mereka juga sedang berdepan situasi rumit dengan pelumba mereka,” Petrucci memberitahu SkySport.it.

Pada masa sama, peluang untuk berhijrah ke KTM turut terbuka tatkala pelumba utama, Pol Espargarao dikhabarkan bakal berhijrah ke Repsol Honda.

Oh the blasphemy! We called the Trident 660 a beginner's superbike, but we standby it wholeheartedly. The Trident is fast and a lot of fun, but it is also very accessible for anyone with just a little bit of experience. And there's not much to worry about either, it is not overly complicated and neither is it very big and heavy. Are u a newbie looking to trade up to a bigger bike? The Triumph Trident 660 may just be worth a look. #TriumphMotorcycles #TriumphTrident #TriumphTrident660
