Flying Welshman Chaz Davies has put pen to paper and will remain with the Aruba Ducati World Superbike team until the end of 2016.

Davies will be joined by current team-mate Davide Giugliano in the squad as they attempt to do something about the Kawasaki team which will have a new bike next season.

“I’m very happy to have put pen to paper for another year with Ducati and the Aruba.it Racing - Ducati Superbike Team. This year we’ve made progress race after race, obtaining some very strong results especially in recent months,” said Davies.

“I believe it is important - for  me, the team and for Ducati - to keep that continuity and I consider this a really good opportunity because I am confident about the development and improvement in performance. Together with Ducati and the team, we’ve continued to move in the right direction right from the start, but we can do more and I’m convinced that next year the bike will allow me to be even faster. The contract renewal is great payback for my work and I hope to be able to reward the team and Ducati with great results in 2016.”
