Ducati MotoGP

Selepas berbulan Ducati MotoGP dan Andrea Dovizioso gagal mencapai persetujuan mengenai kontrak lanjutan, akhirnya disahkan pelumba itu membuat keputusan untuk tukar angin.

Perkara itu disahkan sendiri pengurus Dovizioso, Simone Battistella yang membuat pendedahan kepada Sky Italia.

“Kami telah berbincang dengan Ducati dan Andrea menjelaskan keputusannya untuk tidak meneruskan kariernya bersama pasukan itu selepas ini.

“Kami berasakan keadaan semasa tidak membenarkan kami untuk meneruskan perhubungan ini.

“Bagaimanapun, Andrea masih bercadang untuk terus berlumba (di MotoGP) sekiranya terdapat tawaran yang baik,” jelasnya.

Pendedahan tersebut seakan satu kejutan buat keseluruhan kem MotoGP tatkala Ducati dan Dovizioso sedang bersiap sedia untuk sesi kelayakan di GP Austria, ketika ini.

Dovizioso telah bersama Ducati sejak 2013 – menggantikan Valentino Rossi – dan telah pun merekodkan 14 kemenangan dengan 61 podium setakat ini.

Persoalannya, siapakah yang bakal mengisi slot ditinggalkan Dovizioso bersama Jack Miller bagi musim 2021?

The world of MotoGP is all about the very best of performance and innovation. This is why Ducati Team has signed a new multi-year technical partnership with tech expert, Altair. The global tech firm specialises in product development, high-performance computing (HPC), and data analytics which will help greatly in Ducati’s racing division, Ducati Corse. (more…)

This is something that no one wants to go through, especially with MotoGP planning to restart in three weeks’ time. Ducati’s lead rider, Andrea Dovizioso, shocked the world last night when news broke that he had sustained a broken collarbone during a motocross race in Faenza, Italy. (more…)

Danilo Petrucci yang bakal tamat kontrak bersama Ducati hujung musim ini dikhabarkan semakin hampir berhijrah ke KTM dalam usaha untuk terus kekal di kelas premier.

Tempat Petrucci di Ducati bakal diambil alih Jack Miller bagi musim 2021.

Pada awalnya, Petrucci dicanang akan sertai Aprilia bagi menggantikan Andrea Iannone yang kini menjalani penggantungan 18 bulan susulan gagal ujian doping.

Pada masa sama, Ducati turut berminat untuk meletakkan Petrucci di WorldSBK dalam usaha menggugat dominasi Jonathan Rea dari Kawasaki.

Bagaimanapun, segalanya berubah apabila tonggak KTM, Pol Espargaro dikatakan akan ke Repsol Honda bagi 2021 menggantikan Alex Marquez.

Sekiranya Petrucci ke KTM menjadi, dia bakal menawarkan pengalaman penting dikalangan pelumba muda lain, Brad Binder, Iker Lecuona dan Miguel Oliviera.

Sementara itu, pengurus Petrucci, Alberto Vergani kini mendedahkan pihaknya sedang menanti langkah seterusnya daripada KTM.

“Kami menyaksikan segalanya di KTM, mereka memiliki fasiliti yang mengagumkan melebihi jangkaan kami,” jelasnya. – Visordown

Pengarah Urusan Ducati, Gigi Dall’lgna mengakui tiada perubahan ketara terhadap rekaan dan pilihan warna bagi musim 2020.

“Dari pandangan pelumba kami, tiada apa yang berubah tetapi sejujurnya, saya gembira dengan perkara ini.

“Sasaran kami tahun ini sama seperti musim lalu, merebut kejuaraan dunia dan melakar keputusan yang baik setiap perlumbaan.

“Pencabar utama kami sudah tentunya Marc Marquez dan Honda, tetapi kami yakin saingan 2020 akan menjadi lebih sengit, lebih sukar berbanding 2019,” jelasnya.

Sesi ujian pra-musim akan membuka tirai di Litar Antarabangsa Sepang bermula 7 hingga 9 Februari ini.

Ducati has unveiled their latest livery for their MotoGP race machine, the Ducati Desmosedici GP20 in Bologna, Italy last night.

Mission Winnow Ducati rider Andrea Dovizioso will drive an Audi in the DTM (German Touring Car Championship) at the Misano round next month.

He will head to San Marino track on 8th to 9th June for the DTM race immediately after the Italian MotoGP round at Mugello.

Dovizioso first test the Audi RS 5 DTM at the Neuburg track on 7th May and will test again at Misano on 22nd to 23rd May as his final preparation.

“I love cars and I feel lucky to be able to race with the Audi RS 5 DTM,” Dovizioso said. “It’s tough to find the time to prepare for it during the MotoGP season but I am really looking forward to compete in such a high-level context such as the DTM.”

Head of Audi motorsport Dieter Gass is naturally thrilled to welcome Dovizioso to his DTM fold and is thankful to Ducati bosses for permitting the Italian’s one-off outing.

“I’m delighted that in Andrea Dovizioso we managed to get a real superstar to race as a guest in the DTM,” Gass said. “MotoGP riders are true heroes in Italy.

“Andrea hails from the Misano area, won the Motorcycle Grand Prix there last year and is going to attract many additional fans.

Audi is Ducati’s parent company and focuses in DTM, Formula E, TCR and GT racing.

As for the DTM, three guest drivers made their appearances last year including World Rally Champion Sebastien Ogier (driving a Mercedes), 2016 World Rallycross Champion Mattias Ekstrom (driving an Audi) and former F1 and Indy Car driver and paralumpian Alex Zanardi (driving a BMW).

Other MotoGP riders have tried their hands in four-wheeled racing, including Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa, who tested for the Red Bull F1 team last year. Valentino Rossi competes in the Monza Rally annually.
