confirmed he could return to Ducati in WorldSBK next year.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Petrucci moved to WorldSBK in 2023 with the Barni Ducati team after racing for the Italian factory in MotoAmerica the year before.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He left the Barni team at the end of last year to ride for BMW\u2019s factory team, but the move has not gone well: Petrucci currently sits 16th in the riders\u2019 standings with a best dry weather finish of seventh and no top-10s since he returned from injury at Donington.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At Cremona two weeks ago, it was made clear that Petrucci had options to stay with BMW but in a different championship, which would be MotoAmerica.<\/p>\n<figure> <source

Barni Ducati team after racing for the Italian factory in MotoAmerica the year before.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He left the Barni team at the end of last year to ride for BMW\u2019s factory team, but the move has not gone well: Petrucci currently sits 16th in the riders\u2019 standings with a best dry weather finish of seventh and no top-10s since he returned from injury at Donington.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At Cremona two weeks ago, it was made clear that Petrucci had options to stay with BMW but in a different championship, which would be MotoAmerica.<\/p>\n<figure> <source
