The Ducati Lenovo MotoGP team originally planned to hold its official 2022 season launch event on January 28, to directly precede the Sepang testing weekend. Unfortunately, while the 2022 MotoGP season isn’t yet underway, the pandemic is already doing its best to throw team planning efforts off track. Jack Miller has been home training in Australia over the break and has unfortunately tested positive for COVID.
Miller is thankfully asymptomatic, but he’s also unlikely to be able to leave Australia in time to arrive in Europe for the planned Ducati Corse activities. He is currently isolating at home and is scheduled to have a second PCR test next week to assess the situation. As a result, Ducati Corse will now postpone its official 2022 MotoGP team launch until February 7, 2022. If you had the old date marked in your calendar, now is the time to revise it.
