Petrucci to replace injured Bastianini at Le Mans

The Italian will step in at Ducati Lenovo Team as Bastianini continues to recover from his shoulder injury

After withdrawing from the Spanish GP, Enea Bastianini (Ducati Lenovo Team) has been ruled out of the upcoming French GP as he continues to recover from his shoulder injury.

At Le Mans, former factory Ducati MotoGP™ star Danilo Petrucci will step in for Bastianini alongside World Championship leader Francesco Bagnaia. The WorldSBK rider is a previous winner at the French GP with Ducati back in 2020, as he gets set to compete in MotoGP™ again after his appearance at the 2022 Thai GP.
