Lorenzo Baldassarri joins GoEleven Ducati for World Superbike 2026
The GoEleven Ducati World Superbike team has named Lorenzo Baldassarri as Andrea Iannone’s replacement for the 2026 season.
Iannone, a one-time MotoGP race victor, announced his departure from the GoEleven squad at the end of the current season last week, expressing optimism about joining another team next year.
Baldassarri, a former Moto2 rider who last competed in World Superbikes in 2023, was chosen to fill the vacant spot on a Panigale V4R.
Following unimpressive stints in World Supersport and MotoE, Baldassarri is eager to return to World Superbikes with GoEleven, believing in the team’s professionalism and ability to help him maximize his potential.
Looking forward to the new season, he is focused on preparing for the challenges ahead and is especially excited about riding the 2026 V4R, considering it to be an extraordinary machine that will enable him to showcase his capabilities on track.
