Ducati𒅌 CEO Claudio Domenicali has revealed that a prototype of the factory's 2023 Moto𝕴E racer has already made its track debut.

reports that, during a meeting with Italian media, Domenicali revealed that D꧙ucati's MotoGP test rider Michele Pirro was riding the bike at Misano.

An official unveiling of tꦕhe electric machine could be made in🍌 the coming days.

The surprise news 𒁏that Ducati would take over from Energicaဣ as the single MotoE supplier was made in late October, with Domenicali explaining:

"At Ducati, our core values are style, sophistication and performance so we decided to enter electrical mobility from the top and꧑ there is no better way than c𒁃ompetition to test and learn.

"We want our engineers to become as good as they are at𝓀 developing internal combustion engines and I think everyone can say our engine in MotoGP is one of the fastest, if not the fastest.

"For motorcycles the main problem [wi🐻th electric] is the weight, and so we have a program in order to make the motor꧑cycle as light as possible. I think that was one of the winning [parts] of our bid for Dorna."

Domenicali then told the Italian media that, "A separate racing department was created. A special working 🌃group. And in a few months a prototype was created.

"It i🅷s an envied group because it practically has carte blanche [to do what it wants with the design]."

MotoGP manufacturers have agreed to phase out fossil fuel in the premier class from 2024-20♍27 by switching to sustainable fuel (in conventional engines).

By also entering MotoE, Ducati is confident it can future proof its company b꧟y gaining expert knowledge of both electric and eFuel/biofuel technology.
