ALBERT ARENAS WILL RACE IN THE 2027 WORLDSBK CHAMPIONSHIP RIDING TEAM PATA GO ELEVEN’S DUCATI!
The final piece of the 2027 WorldSBK grid is now official: 2026 Supersport World Champion Albert Arenas will take the seat on the second Ducati Panigale for the Pata Go Eleven team!
A two-time World Champion—having won the 2020 Moto3 title with 6 victories and 12 podiums in the MotoGP paddock, and, most recently, the World Supersport championship, which he dominated with 4 victories and 17 podiums—the Catalan rider born in 1996 joins the Pata Go Eleven project as he makes the step up to the main class.
The upcoming season promises to be a major challenge for the Italian team, which is doubling its commitment to WorldSBK by fielding two riders in the top category for the first time. Albert will line up alongside the previously confirmed Lorenzo Baldassarri, creating a duo that perfectly balances experience and speed. It is the ideal choice to realize the dream held by Gianni Ramello and Denis Sacchetti.
Moving from World Champion to Superbike rookie, Arenas—along with the whole Pata Go Eleven team—will begin his campaign on December 9–10th with the first official test at the Valencia circuit!
Bienvenido, Albert Arenas #75!
Albert Arenas (Rider #75):
“I am absolutely thrilled about this new challenge; I’m excited! My main goal when I first came in the Supersport class was to win the World Championship and move up to Superbike. This step up comes at a perfect moment in my career; this year, I’ve had the chance to get comfortable in the Superbike paddock, experience racing twice in a single weekend, and familiarize myself with all the circuits. As a rookie, I’ll have a lot to learn about the bike. I can’t wait to test the Ducati—we know it’s a competitive bike —but I want to see where my own level stands and what kind of results I can achieve. I’d like to express a huge thank you to Team Pata Go Eleven for their commitment to fielding a second bike. I’ve already had the chance to meet my teammate, Balda, and some of the crew; now, all that’s left to do is get out on the track!”
Gianni Ramello (Team Owner):
“In 2027, the Pata Team Go Eleven will field two bikes in the WorldSBK championship, marking the culmination of a 20-year journey that began in the Stock classes. We were very keen to bring in Arenas; beyond his credentials as a two-time World Champion—in Moto3 and Supersport—he impressed us with his speed and a riding style that proves highly effective in every race. We followed every round of the Supersport championship, and Albert consistently showed great grit against fierce competition. I believe we have managed to assemble a highly competitive team capable of delivering excellent results. A special thanks goes to Pata and its head, Remo Gobbi, for their support, which made this deal possible. Now, we have twice the work ahead of us—but we certainly don’t lack the desire. I can’t wait for the first race with both our riders on track; it will be a very demanding year, but the team will, as always, bring all its skill and professionalism to the table as we aim for ambitious results!”
Denis Sacchetti (Team Manager):
“I am truly excited to welcome Albert into our family and to work with him. As the reigning Supersport World Champion, he brings a great deal of motivation to both me and the whole team. Albert was our ‘dream signing’—our main objective from the moment we decided to field a second rider for the 2027 Superbike World Championship. I am confident that, together with Balda, we have put together a fantastic team; both are young, yet they already have significant experience, they are both incredibly fast and determined. I want to thank Albert for accepting this challenge. In speaking with him, you can clearly feel the mindset of a true champion, which is why I am certain he will adapt quickly to this category. It is a major step up for him, and he will naturally need an initial period of adjustment; for that reason, we will be the first to ensure he faces no pressure—he needs to take his time to get to know the bike. In the early stages of the championship, the keyword is simply to have fun, without worrying about the results; when you’re enjoying yourself, the results follow naturally. I can’t wait to get to Valencia for the first tests and see him riding our Ducati V4RS!”
