In 2019 the Ducati bikes ridden by Andrea Dovizioso, Danilo Petrucci and test rider Michele Pirro will once again feature the Cefla logo on their fairings. For the second year running, then, Cefla will be taking to the track with the Mission Winnow Ducati team as an Official Partner of Ducati Corse. The sponsorship deal was formally signed during a meeting attended by Gianmaria Balducci, president of Cefla, and Luigi Dall’Igna, general manager of Ducati Corse.
Throughout the 2019 MotoGP season, then, we’ll be seeing the Cefla logo make its appearance on the world’s most famous racetracks as the riders throw their bikes into the bends at near-impossible angles. And that’s not all. As part of this latest adventure with Ducati Corse, the Cefla logo will also be visible on the Ducati team technicians’ headsets, on the doors of the engineers’ mobile workstations and on the lights in the paddocks, supplied by Lucifero’s, the new Cefla Lighting brand.
“At Cefla we know that teamwork is crucial to success” states Balducci. “Our aim is to join forces with Ducati Corse and, through close support and true team spirit, ensure they reach new, ambitious goals. It might even be said that Ducati and Cefla run on the same ‘fuel’: a never-ending desire to improve, plus an ambition to compete on international markets and gain leadership through optimum performance”.
“Cefla is a major Italian business that has, over the years, succeeded in diversifying and expanding internationally, just like Ducati” added Luigi Dall’Igna, general manager of Ducati Corse. “Yet we also have much more in common, such as a strong focus on development and innovation and a constant striving for superlative performance, which is exactly why I’m proud to have Cefla at our side – and on our bikes – again this year”.
The partnership between these two companies continues then, a union characterised by their shared values of Passion, Performance and Innovation and a strong sense of belonging to an area that has always been in ‘pole position’ in terms of technology and innovation.Here, then, in the heart of Italy’s ‘Motor Valley’, the bond between Imola and Borgo Panigale is being strengthened by a Cefla-Ducati partnership that merges experience and know-how to achieve ever-more ambitious goals.
