The 2024 season of the Aruba Cloud MotoE team has officially begun, with the presentation of the liveries of the Ducati V21L of Chaz Davies and Armando Pontone. The launch of the new team took place at the Aruba Auditorium of the Global Cloud Data Center in Ponte San Pietro (Bergamo), which will make its debut in the FIM Enel MotoE World Championship in two weeks at the Portimao circuit, in Portugal.
The Aruba Cloud MotoE Team is one of three rookie teams in the electric MotoGP championship, together with Axxis MSI and Forward Racing.
To bring the Ducati V21L from the Aruba Cloud team MotoE they will be Chaz Davies and Armando Pontone. The first, after finishing his Superbike adventure in 2021, joined the team Ducati ERC in the Endurance World Championship, while at the same time taking on the role of coach for the Aruba riders in Superbike and Supersport, the latter is the winner of the title of Italian Champion of the National Trophy SS600 in 2021. Those who follow the MotoE, you will remember having already seen Chaz Davies riding the Ducati V21L, at Mugello, during a test start together with Michele Pirro, riding the Ducati MotoGP.
Stefano Cecconi, CEO of Aruba, will also be the Team Principal of the team.

“It is a reason of huge pride and satisfaction for me to participate in this new and exciting adventure with Aruba, to which I have been connected for a decade. It is even more thrilling to virtually start the season inside the Global Cloud Data Center Campus, which I can say I have seen grow over the years. The FIM Enel MotoE World Championship represents a new and exciting challenge that I can't wait to begin. We have already had the opportunity to test the Ducati V21L in Portimao, and the sensations were very positive. I look forward to being in Portugal in a few days to return to the track."

“Finally, our season begins. I am very happy to be able to ride one of these splendid Ducati V21L bikes, and I cannot hide my emotions for this great evening during which we showcased the stunning colors of our liveries to many friends and sponsors. During the Portimao tests, the connection with the bike grew session after session, thanks in part to the support of the team, with whom I immediately felt comfortable. It is clear that there is still a lot of work to do, as this is a completely new project for me. However, the expectations are really high."
