Davide Tardozzi, Ducati Corse’s Superbike Team Manager confirmed the riders line-up for next year’s World Superbike season.
We all know for some time legend Troy Bayliss leaving World Superbike at the end of this year.
Haga will replace Bayliss and Michel Fabrizio will stay for a second year at Ducati Corse, as revealed in our exclusive interview with Fabrizio.
Davide Tardozzi said:”I am very proud to be able to welcome Noriyuki.
We are convinced he is one of the strongest and best loved of the Superbike riders, a talented and courageous man.
He is a rider that has proved that he never gives up, in the true spirit of Ducati, and is a rider with the credentials to fill the place that Troy Bayliss vacates.
“Haga will, for the first time, ride a factory Ducati, and I am certain that he will win over the Ducatisti fans and bring great satisfaction.
We are very proud to have him in next year’s squad together with Michel.
They are two fantastic riders and we will do everything to ensure that they can achieve the great results that everyone hopes are possible.
