After winning 32 races and reaching 99 podiums in the Superbike World Championship (WSBK), Chaz Davies hung up his leathers at the end of the 2021 season. The Welsh rider’s time in the paddock was far from over, though, with Davies transitioning into a rider coaching role at the factory-supported Aruba.it Ducati WSBK and Supersport World Championship (WorldSSP) teams.
While Davies switched to a managerial position in 2022, the ERC Ducati team tapped the retired racer to replace the injured Lorenzo Zanetti for the opening round of the 2022 World Endurance Championship (WEC). The 24 Hours of Le Mans race is scheduled for the weekend of April 16-17, 2022, but Davies won’t be able to make the competition due to contracting an unnamed virus.
