Reigning World Superbike champion Alvaro Bautista will make a wild-card entry in this year's Malaysian MotoGP from 10th-12th November.
The Spaniard's long-rumoured return to MotoGP follows a pair of private test sessions at Misano on the factory's title-winning Desmosedici.
"The tests with the Ducati Desmosedici GP gave positive feedback: the feeling was good, and I had fun. I want to sincerely thank Ducati and Aruba.it because, without them, it would have been impossible to have this opportunity. "The feeling with the Panigale V4R machine is good, and I hope to continue on this path. Then, when the season ends, we’ll think about going to Malaysia and having fun. Now I’ll have a little holiday, and then we’ll be back at Magny-Cours.”While Bautista talks of having fun, many will point to the similarities with fellow Ducati WorldSBK champion Troy Bayliss.
That was the same year that Bautista won the 125cc title. He then moved to 250cc, doubling his eight grand prix wins, before a MotoGP debut with Suzuki in 2010.
