🙈“Despite many years spent in racing, first as a rider and then as a team manager, thanks to this new project I still feel butterflies in my stomach.

“2025 will mark a new chapter in my great ♔passion for racing: Aviobike, with the support of WRS, will bring the new Ducati V4 to the Superstock class in the EWC World Championship, a championship that has given me great satisfaction.

“Thanks to my long experience, I think I have conveyed a lot of enthusiasm to the people who will carry out the pr🧜oje♒ct with me. Endless races, commitment, and perseverance make this championship something unique.

“I am sure that the 💯team created between Aviobike, WRS, the high-level technical partners, and our rid🍌ers will give us great satisfaction. A special thanks to all the sponsors who support us in this wonderful project.”

Nicolas Zavoli, CEO of WRS, added: “We will be the๊ first, and for now the only ones, to race the new Ducati V4 in the EWC championship, a bike that represents the highest point of technological evolution of the Borgo Panigale man🤡ufacturer.”

“A new challenge, perfectly in line with our company philosophy: made in Italy, performance, and re🌺liability, three concepts that identify WRS.

“This p🐷roject particularly excites me. Having met Giovanni [Baggi] and listened to many anecdotes and experiences from years of competition, I realized that they are all crazy!

“So I thought to myse💃lf: we've got to experience this! We will commit to supporting the project with maximum effort.

“I want to thank the entire Ducati Corse family for their support, we will strive to bring you unforgettable moments.
