1 of 3

Chaz Davies and Davide Guigliano have shown off their new Aruba Ducati WSB bikes in a ceremony at the Aruba Data Center in Arezzo, Italy. The new internet companies’ sponsorship has dramatically transformed the look of the factory supported team’s machines from last year’s red and white look.

Davies and Guigliano will now immediately travel from Italy to Australia, with a two day test on the 17th and 17th February scheduled before the season proper kicks off three days later at Phillip Island.

Speaking at the event, Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati, said: “We are particularly pleased with our agreement with Aruba, also because both companies share a significant series of values, ranging from technological avant-garde in our respective sectors to the ability to offer ‘made in Italy’ excellence, operating with passion and competence to ensure the satisfaction of our users and clients across the world.”

“The Superbike World Championship is very important for Ducati and for our history: we have won 14 riders’ titles and 17 manufacturers’ titles and we absolutely want to win again with the Panigale. The three-year agreement with Aruba is the ideal platform to continue this commitment and return as frontrunners in the championship.”
