Barni Spark Racing Ducati have officially unveiled their 2022 WorldSBK colours for Lucaꦫ Bernardi, along with the team’s WorldSSP livery for rider Oliver B💛ayliss. 

One of six rookies set to line-up on the 2022 WorldSBK grid, Bernardi w🙈ill be competing on a Ducati Panigale V4 RS22 machine. 

Derived ꧑from the WorldSBK-spec Panigale V4-R, Bernardi is likely to be aboard one of the series’ ꦇmore competitive satellite bikes, and one that should see him fight for rookie of the year honours - a lot of that will depend on how big a step forward the full factory Team HRC makes. 

After showing decent pace in his first pre-season test a🍌t Portimao, Bernardi is hoping to use tꦏhis week’s two-day outing at Misano, his home track, to ‘improve my feeling’. 

Bernardi said: "After the first touch with the team in the tests in Portug🅺al, I need to improve my feeling with the Ducati Paniga🎉le V4 RS 22 and I hope to do that in this two-day test in Misano, which is my home track. 

"It was a pleasure to be able to welcome the sponsors at this presentation before we hit the track. The bike looks wonderful, and now we have to work to riಞde it fast."

Lining-up as part of the same team for the 2022 season, albeit in WorldSSP, Australian rider O♍liver Bayliss is 😼also set for his rookie campaign in the intermediate class.

Track action has been at a premium for Bayliss thus far, after the son of former three-time Worl🐬dSBK champion Troy, completed just nine laps during last mont🍌h’s Portimao test due to a crash and subsequent ankle injury that forced him to sit out. 

"After recovering from the inj🌠ury, it is nice to be here at Misano for the presentation, but also for my first real test," claimed Bayl🍎iss. 

"Hopef🐼ully, I can get more confid♓ence with the bike, do as many laps as possible and be 100% soon."
