Lorenzo Baldassarri has confirmed he will remain with the GoEleven Ducati team for the 2027 WorldSBK season.
Baldassarri joined the GoEleven squad for the 2026 campaign on his return to the championship after three years, and scored immediate success with a podium in the first race at Phillip Island.
The Italian rider has shown arguably the most consistent form of his career to date after climbing to sixth in the riders’ standings.
“I am really happy to renew with Team GoEleven,” Baldassarri said in a press release. “We had to wait a little while to finalise the last details, but I’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time.
“We are keeping continuity with the project, and I’m pleased about that; this year has been a fantastic season, during which I’ve consistently been fast and steady.
“I had come from a difficult period where I lacked both confidence and results, having changed teams, bikes, and categories, but GoEleven believed in me, and we achieved great things this year.
“Big challenges ahead; we now have a solid baseline for every track, so we’ll arrive ready at every weekend. I can’t wait to start another year together.”
GoEleven Team Manager, Denis Sacchetti, added: “The feeling we’ve built with Balda this year is fantastic.
“The harmony within the garage and our mutual trust in the work we do are the key ingredients that led us to firmly believe in continuing this partnership, anything else wouldn’t have made sense.
“Balda has impressed us right from the very first race this year and I think he’s impressed a lot of people with what he’s shown on track, and we believe that with a year of experience, we could have a really exciting 2027. We’re thrilled and motivated.”
