“We kept in contact during my two WorldSBK years with the hope we would see each other again in the future, so the fact this has happened makes me happy.

“Both Josh and Loris are highly competitive, world-class riders on well-sorted Ducati Superbikes, so we are very optimistic that we will be fighting for wins early in the season.

“We did a good job last year when Josh and the bike were new to each other, and now with another season of data in the bank, we expect even better results.”
