Aruba.it Racing – Ducati

Just do the maths

The next WorldSBK Champion rides a Panigale V4 R. The only question is #11 or #7.

So far, the Panigale V4 R has won every race of the 2026 FIM Superbike World Championship. An extraordinary record built on an unbroken run of victories. This achievement was made possible by the engineers, mechanics and technicians at Ducati and Ducati Corse, two exceptional riders, and everyone at Aruba.it Racing – Ducati and across Borgo Panigale. Thank you. This record belongs to all of you.
