Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) will continue for another season in the factory Aruba.it Racing – Ducati team in WorldSBK, with a new one-year extension being announced. The Spaniard, currently the 2022 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship leader by 36 points, has been in mighty form since returning to Ducati from Honda for this season, notching up six wins and is yet to finish off the podium, with 12 podiums from 12 races. With Bautista remaining at Ducati for 2023, he becomes the eighth rider to be locked in, whilst Ducati make it all five factory teams with at least one rider announced for next season.

They were talking about it in commentary during the last race, perhaps the one before. Can't remember if it was only a possibility.

It is a possibility, it’s been discussed and may be implemented at some point.

When Bautista goes through puberty, she might get some tits.

Paul Denning implied that Bautista is something like 20kg less than TR which is a massive advantage if true

In his prime Dani Pedrosa was 51kgs.

Alvaro Bautista is 60kgs apparently.

Johnny Rea is around 73kgs.

Dunno what weight Toprak is. edit...the internet says he's 68kgs.
