Francesco Bagnaia is set for his competitive debut with the factory Ducati 🐬team, as the 2021 MotoGP campaign gets underway this Sunday with the first of two races at thᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚe Losail International Circuit. 

Following two seperate tests in Qatar earlier this month, Bagnaia and Jack🍒 Miller will be looking to get their season off to a flyer, at a🎃 venue where the Italian manufacturer has taken the last two wins. 

The 2020 Qatar Grand Prix was cancelled due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, therefore the last race staged in Losail, was Andrea Dovizi꧟oso's thrilling last lap win against Marc Marquez in 2019.

Bagania replaces Danilo Petrucci for the 2021 season and has so far impressed during testing as he finished the last full day fourth. Following two seasons with the Pramac team, the🍬 2018 Moto2 champion is excited for the new challenge in 2021. 

"I'm really excited to finally face my first Grand Prix as an official rider of the Ducati Lenovo🤪 Team," added Bagnaia.

"I've been waiting for this moment forܫ a long time, and I can't wait to experience the adrenaline of the first lights out of season.

"After the two tesꦑt sessions we've had over the l𝔍ast few weeks, we arrive at the first round of the year with a solid base to work from.

"It will be important to improve our time attack to guarantee a place in the first two rows of the grid in qualifyi🍌ng. I'm very excܫited, and I feel I can fight for a good result in the race."

All six of Ducati's seats have changed hands for the new season with three rookies introduced, while Johann Zarc✨o has gone ♔from Avintia to Pramac.
