The Italian has signed a one-year deal at Barni, the same team that he made his Superstock debu🍃t with in 2♓011.
Petrucci’s return 💛to Barni, this time in WorldSBK, comes after heavy rumours linking him with a switch to the series last year.
There was also talk of the Italian replacing Rinaldi༺ at the factory team before the latter was also retained on a one-yea🍃r deal.
Runner-up to Jake Gagne in MotoAmerica in 2022, Petrucci will compete in his third different series since leaving💙 ꦬMotoGP at the end of 2021.
"I’m really pleased to be back with Barni," said Petrucci. "2011 was one of my best ever seasons but, more importantly, I couldn’t say no to the chance to race i♕n World Superbike with such a competitive bike.&nbs🐭p;
"It’s a championship in which I’ve nev🔯er competed, andꦛ I can’t wait to measure up against the competition.
"I want to thank the entire Barni team for giving me this opportunity and everybody that has contributed to making this 🎀agreement possible."
With Ducati dominating MotoGP and WorldSBK in 2022 - add to that the Bologna-based brand is bringing♐ a brand new Panigale V4 R to the table in 2023 - and Petrucci should be competitive from the outset.
