We will do everything to reach the our goals over the next season and I thank, not only Vale, Uccio and Pablo, but above all the whole technical team that supports me and Ducati: being among the protagonists in 2024 and fighting for the World Championship as a rider and as a team is an ambition real.

Thus the team director Alessio Salucci: “I am very happy to confirm that Luca will remain with us also in 2024: it will be the seventh season with the Team and it is a significant recognition of trust for all of us. Confirming, with the support of Ducati, a growing team is an important advantage: Luca is a hard worker, always precise, focused on details and he is a true plus in today’s MotoGP. He’s fast, consistent and very solid and I think he has collected less than he deserved so far: I hope he can take away a lot of satisfaction in these remaining races of 2023 and in the future”.
