Michele Pirro
Michele Pirro has been Ducati's factory test rider since 2013, quietly shaping the development of some of the most dominant machinery in MotoGP™ history while still lining up on race weekends as a wildcard or injury substitute. Before that role, he won a Moto2™ race at the 2011 Valencia finale in his rookie season, and off the works Ducati he's one of the most decorated riders in Italian Superbike history.
