The ex-MotoGP racer will ride a V4 R Panigale at the Portuguese track on February 8-9 alongside a number of WSBK regulars, including factory Ducati racers Alvaro Bautista and Michael Ruben Rinaldi and last year's title protagonists Toprak Razgatlioglu (Yamaha) and Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki).
This is likely to be a prelude to a switch to MotoAmerica, where Petrucci would replace Loris Baz aboard the Warhorse HSBK Ducati.
