Aruba.it Racing – Ducati Team has announced a contract renewal with Iker Lecuona, confirming he will continue racing in the Italian team's colors through 2027 and 2028. Lecuona has already taken his first WorldSBK victory at Donington.
Lecuona staying, I think that's the right call. The factory firmly locked in the momentum from his first SBK win at Donington. Trust between rider and team ties directly to whether you can believe in the bike at corner entry. Locking that foundation in with a 2-year deal should pay off in how they race next season.

Is Aruba.it Ducati's factory team?
Right, Aruba.it is Ducati's official WorldSBK factory team.
A multi-year deal after just one win feels a little premature, honestly.
His potential was already proven back in his Moto2 days.
I've been rooting for Lecuona, so a multi-year deal makes me genuinely happy.
2027-28—that's a contract looking pretty far down the road.
Feels like he's becoming the top candidate to succeed Bautista.
First win at Donington leading to a 2-year extension — seems like a fair call.
