The final piece of the puzzle for the upcoming WorldSBK grid has officially fallen into place as Albert Arenas makes his highly anticipated graduation to the premier class. The newly crowned Supersport world champion is set to join forces with Lorenzo Baldassarri under the GoEleven banner, completing the team's two-rider lineup aboard the Ducati Panigale V4 R.
Weeks after confirming Baldassarri's contract extension and their ambition to field a second machine, the Italian squad kept the identity of their second rider under wraps until today. The 29-year-old Spanish rider will now step up as the fourth rookie on the grid, bringing a wealth of international experience to the production-derived world championship.
Arenas' pedigree speaks for itself. Alongside his fresh Supersport crown, he famously clinched the Moto3 world championship title in 2020 before putting in consistent front-running performances in the intermediate Moto2 class.
"I am extremely happy with this new challenge, I am fully charged," Arenas expressed. "My main goal when I arrived in Supersport was to win the World Championship and race in Superbike! This step up comes at a great moment in my career. This season I had the chance to get familiar with the production-derived paddock, tackle two races in the same weekend, and learn all the tracks."
Entering the championship as a rookie, the Spaniard acknowledges the steep learning curve ahead, but his eagerness to test the Ducati machinery is palpable. "I will be a rookie, I will have to learn many things about the bike, and I can't wait to test the Ducati. We know it is a competitive bike, but I want to understand what my level will be and what results I can achieve. I want to thank the team so much for their commitment to fielding a second bike. I've already had the chance to meet my teammate 'Balda' and part of the crew, now all that's left is to hit the track!"
GoEleven Team Manager Denis Sacchetti shared the team's excitement over securing their primary target for the upcoming campaign, praising the winning mentality that the reigning Supersport champion brings to the pit lane.
"I am truly enthusiastic to welcome Albert into our family and to work with him. He is the reigning Supersport World Champion, which gives a strong motivation to both me and the whole team," Sacchetti stated. "Albert was our dream in the drawer and our main objective ever since we decided to field a second rider, and I am convinced that, together with Balda, we have managed to create a great team."
