Things are done: the rider number 34\u2014currently sixth in the WorldSBK standings\u2014will race with Team Go Eleven for the 2027 season. Following a debut year back in the WorldSBK, where “Balda” proved competitive at every circuit\u2014securing two podium finishes, most notably his first at the Phillip Island opener\u2014the team and rider have reached an agreement to extend their partnership.<\/p>\n
Two third-place finishes and six top-five results testify to an excellent season for the Italian rider, who felt at ease on the Ducati Panigale V4-RS from the very start. The 2027 season will bring a major shift regarding technical regulation and tyres manufacturer\u2014a significant new challenge that the team is eager to tackle.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI am really happy to renew with Team Go Eleven; we had to wait a little while to finalize the last details, but I\u2019ve been looking forward to this day for a long time. We are keeping continuity with the project, and I\u2019m pleased about that; this year has been a fantastic season, during which I\u2019ve consistently been fast and steady. I had come from a difficult period where I lacked both confidence and results\u2014having changed teams, bikes, and categories\u2014but Go Eleven believed in me, and we achieved great things this year. Big challenges ahead; we now have a solid baseline for every track, so we\u2019ll arrive ready at every weekend. I can\u2019t wait to start another year together!\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cLorenzo has proven to be fast and competitive during the 2026 season, bringing us great satisfaction. He was a gamble I took at the start of the year\u2014I believed in him from the very beginning, and he repaid that faith with one of our best-ever WorldSBK seasons. We couldn’t let him slip away after just one year or fail to renew his contract for the upcoming season. With another year in our team, I am certain he will improve even further; the team environment is wonderful\u2014calm and truly united\u2014thanks to Lorenzo\u2019s excellent personality. I wish both him and us, the team, the very best for 2027; we face major challenges ahead, and we want to be ready for them. I also want to thank everyone who believed in this venture\u2014all our partners and sponsors who make it possible for us to keep living our dream!\u201d<\/p>\n
