The Modena-based company announced on Tuesday afternoon that it will not renew its contract with Dorna, which expires at the end of 2022, when the four-year partnership ends.
Pending the official announcement of the new supplier, everything is now ready for Ducati to take over and enter the electric motorcycle sector from 2023, which will therefore open a new chapter for the Borgo Panigale brand.

Just a month ago, the Spaniard Jordi Torres took the 2021 crown, after the commissioners imposed an exemplary penalty on Swiss Dominique Aegerter, who had overwhelmed him in a desperate overtaking maneuver on the last lap.
