The Rahal Ducati Moto team, led by ex-MotoGP and WSBK star Ben Spies and IndyCar racer Graham Rahal, has chosen R&G to protect its bikes this year. The team is running three Ducati Panigale V2s for its inaugural season in the MotoAmerica Supersport class, and the Hampshire firm will supply engine case covers, carbon fibre shark fin sprocket guards and tank grips for the bikes, ridden by PJ Jacobsen, Kayla Yaakov and Corey Alexander.
The new partnership further strengthens the British brand’s presence in America. R&G is currently a sponsor of the MotoAmerica series and the chosen crash protection supplier for Team Hammer Inc. and 2023 Superbike Cup National Champion Nolan Lamkin.
R&G MD Simon Hughes said, “We are absolutely delighted to be working with Rahal Ducati Moto in what is set to be a very exciting inaugural year for the team. We see working with Rahal Ducati Moto as pivotal to our ever-expanding marketing and development program in North America, and everyone at R&G wishes them the best of luck for the 2024 campaign!”
