MotoGP stars168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Francesco Bagnaia and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio di Giannantonio are ‘pushin♕g’ Ducati to enter the Suzuka 8 Hours endurance race.

Ducati are the reigning champions in both MotoGP and WorldSBK, with Suzuka one of th💦e few prestigious events left where the Japanese factories still dominate.

J𝔉ohann Zarco is the latest MotoGP rider to add his name to t🐷he 8 Hours winners' list, as part of the Honda Team HRC with Japan Post squad in last month’s 2024 edition.

But ൲Ducati also dipped its toe into this year’s event by backing ‘Team Kagayama’, which finished in fourth place with Ryo Mizuno, Josh Waters and Hafizh Syahrin.

Speaking at the event, Ducati Corse’s Paolo Ciabatti confirmed the factory has its sights set on making Suzuka history in the n🌟ear future:

“The Suzuka 8-Hours is... still a very important race for a manufacturer,” Ciabatti told . “It’s never b🌠een won by a non-Japanese manufacturer. So the dream will be one day, hopefully soon, to be the first non-Japanese manufacturer to win Suzuka.”

“The plan will be in the future to come probably with a factory bike from Bologna and with MotoGP riders alongside Yu♚kio [Kagayama’s team]," Ciabatti added. "Because obviously doing it from Italy is complicated.

“I don't know about Marc [Marquez] or Bautista, but for sure among th⛎e GP riders of Ducati for the future, Pecco and Fabio Di Giannantonio, they would like to🍸 do the Suzuka 8 Hours.

“Then we ju༺st need to look for a third rider, between [our] other GP riders and Superbike riders there will be someone happy to do it. Whether i🥀t will be next year or in 2026, it’s too early to say.”

At Silverstone, reigning doꦺuble MotoGP champion Bagnaia made his Suzuka intensions clear.

“I am pushing a lot to Ducati to give to me the possibility to go🙈 to Suzuka and do the 8 Hours,” Bagnaia said.

“For sure I kn🍷ow how stressful it can be, because it’s in the [MotoGP] summer break, but I love this kind of race. I always think for a world championship rider it’s a target for your career.

“꧂But what I said is that before I arrive, they have to be prepared to have a chance to win. Because I would love to go there and win.”

“I'm pushing a lot honestly. I would love to do 🧸the 8 hours of Suzuka, so I'm pushing a lot wit♛h my staff at home to try to organise it.

“It is one of my races on my bucket list, so in case we will be together with D𓄧ucati it would be amazing to ride for them in the 8 Hours.”

di Giannantonio’s new two-year contract, which includes a factory ♏GP25 in MotoGP next season, was duly announced after Silverstone.
