In the Ducati factories it is production of electric motorcycles startedV21L”, who will be the protagonists of the 2023 season of the FIM Enel MotoE World Championship. To the 18 motorcycles that will be brought to the race, 5 will be added at the disposal of the organization. Each prototype is assembled by expert technicians in the Ducati MotoE Racing Department with the same procedure, precision and attention to detail with which a MotoGP is built. All 23 units will be ready by mid-February
After a year of dedicated development tests, which saw Michele Pirro, Alex De Angelis and Chaz Davies take turns riding the “V21L” prototype, the Ducati MotoE project is approaching the moment when the bikes will take to the track. The first test with the riders and teams who will compete in the 2023 World Championship is scheduled for 6, 7 and 8 March in Jerez, then another three test days will follow on 3, 4 and 5 April on the Montmelò circuit in Barcelona. The debut in the race will instead take place in the French Grand Prix on Saturday 13 May.
The 2023 calendar of the MotoE World Championship is divided into eight Grands Prix with two races per weekend, both on Saturdays. After the French debut, the electric motorcycle World Championship will be present in all the subsequent European races up to Misano, then it will be at Mugello on the weekend of 11 June, at Sachsenring on the following one and in Assen on 25 June. After the summer break, the Ducati MotoEs will be back on track at Silverstone on August 5, before facing the three final Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring (August 20), Catalunya (September 2) and Misano (September 10).
