We anticipated the news to you about a month ago, now it is official. Alvaro Bautista will ride with the Ducati of the Aruba team again in the 2025 World Superbike season. A one-year contract for the Spanish rider, who thus continues his adventure in red.
On his part, therefore, there is no lack of enthusiasm: "I am thrilled to continue another season with Ducati, with Aruba and with this beautiful team that represents a family to me. I feel physically and mentally perfect, and I am sure I can still be very competitive. Furthermore, there is an extraordinary relationship with everyone, from the mechanics to the management, to the sponsors, which is why I am even happier. I want to thank Ducati, Aruba, Stefano Cecconi, Daniele Casolari, and Serafino Foti for the trust they have given me. I hope I can repay them by returning to always having fun on the track as we did in the last rounds."
Echoing his words was Stefano Cecconi, Team Principal Aruba.it Racing - Ducati: "I have said many times that our priority was to continue with Alvaro and I couldn't wait to be able to announce the renewal of our collaboration officially. It is a pleasure to work with him, both from a personal and professional point of view, and I am convinced that by continuing to work hard together, we will be able to overcome the new challenges that the new regulations offer us. During the last few races, we have found solutions that have allowed Alvaro to rediscover the sensations that were a bit lacking at the beginning of the year, now we must continue on this path to make a grand season finale and close the gap that separates us from the top."
Finally, there was no lack of satisfaction from Luigi Dall'Igna, General Manager of Ducati Corse: "We are delighted to continue with Alvaro Bautista. In recent seasons he has given us great emotions and his talent certainly remains unquestionable. The new regulations and the very high level reached by the World Superbike Championship will make 2025 challenging, but we are ready to face it together. For now, it is important to stay focused on the current season: the Championship is still long, and we will do everything we can to put Alvaro in a position to defend the world title till the end."
