Ducati will compete in the Italian Championship with Alessandro Lupino, and rumors in the USA suggest that Joe Gibbs of JGR could reassemble his team to race Italian bikes. Anything is possible in this world. JGR has dealt with challenging Yamaha bikes and somewhat underperforming Suzuki models in the past. Could they venture into Ducati territory? Gibbs had previously mentioned retiring due to financial losses in Motocross. However, there’s speculation about the potential reopening of their North Carolina facility. The JGR MX team has a history of adaptability and innovation, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see them explore new avenues, including partnering with Ducati for future races.”
Rumor: We could see the JGR guys back and running the Ducati program in the USA.
