Alvaro Bautista is bracing for a tricky round at Laguna Seca with the new Aruba.it Racing Ducati V4 R given where his team has struggled so far this season as he looks to fightback in the World Superbike championship against Jonathan Rea.

Marco Melandri has revealed the 2019 World Superbike Championship season will be his last in international motorsport after announcing his retirement.

Eugene Laverty has played down any fears his early Donington Park withdrawal will reduce the chances of him making a full return to World Superbike Championship action at Laguna Seca this weekend.

Jack Miller took 'a bit of gamble' by fitting the soft rear tyre for Sunday's German MotoGP and, while it 'didn't really work out', the Australian moved to the top of the Independent standings heading into the summer break.

Chaz Davies says he can’t be happy with his Donington Park results while his final race charge was hampered by arm pump on his Aruba.it Racing Ducati.

With the factory Ducati trio covered by just 0.259s at the end of the German MotoGP, Danilo Petrucci feels the evidence is clear that they had reached the limit of the bike.

Andrea Dovizioso has provided a damning verdict on Ducati’s current struggles and has urged factory engineers to finally address the “DNA of the bike” that led to another tough MotoGP race weekend in Germany.

Marc Marquez feels he has breathing space in the MotoGP world championship fight after pulling out a 58-point advantage over nearest rival Andrea Dovizioso, while he sees Yamaha duo Maverick Vinales and Fabio Quartararo as “the guys to beat at the moment”.

Alvaro Bautista shrugged off the consequences of losing the World Superbike Championship lead for the first time this season after crashing out of the first race at Donington Park, instead revealing he is ‘lucky’ not to have been hurt in his sizeable smash.

Danilo Petrucci faces his biggest challenge of 2019 on Sunday as he aims to navigate a way toward the top six from twelfth on the grid while battling “a lot of pain” in his right hand and left wrist.

Andrea Dovizioso admitted he does not “have a lot of cards” to play in Sunday’s MotoGP race at the Sachsenring, after the Italian endured a day to forget in Germany.

Marc Marquez says he isn’t focusing on maintaining his perfect run of results at Sachsenring if it risks his MotoGP world championship lead despite dominating again at the German track.

Andrea Dovizioso believes he and several others are just behind the pace of the three quickest riders at the Sachsenring, but remains optimistic despite struggling – “but it’s nothing more than we expected.”

Danilo Petrucci accepts it was a tough opening day for Ducati having felt slow over both his qualifying and race practice runs at Sachsenring.
