As the world of MotoGP continues to rev up, Estrella Galicia 0.0 has announced its official partnership with the Ducati Lenovo Team, with none other than Marc Márquez on board. This significant agreement was first hinted at during the team’s presentation in Madonna Di Campiglio, Italy, back in January, where Márquez’s helmet featured the Estrella Galicia 0.0 sponsorship. Now, it’s official: the Spanish brand is set to become an integral part of the Ducati team’s journey in the MotoGP world championship.
A Broader Agreement
This partnership seals Estrella Galicia 0.0’s presence in the premier class of motorcycling, thanks to its alliance with the current world champion. The team’s pilot lineup for this season includes the three-time world champion Francesco Bagnaia and the eight-time world champion Marc Márquez, whose signing has sent shockwaves through the grid. With this agreement, Estrella Galicia 0.0 cements its commitment to the sport, having already supported numerous young talents, including Márquez, over the years.
A Legacy of Support
Estrella Galicia 0.0 boasts a rich history in motorcycling, with a strong presence in the paddock as the Official MotoGP beer. Since 2011, the brand has been dedicated to nurturing young motorcycling talent, providing support from promotional competitions all the way to the MotoGP class. One notable example is Pecco Bagnaia, who competed with the Junior Team Estrella Galicia 0.0 in the Spanish speed championship (CEV) between 2010 and 2012 before making the leap to the world championship in 2013. This legacy of support has played a significant role in the careers of many pilots, including Márquez, who has been a key beneficiary of the brand’s talent development strategy.
Reaction from the Teams
José Villanueva, Global Director of Content and Sponsorships at Estrella Galicia 0.0, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership: “We’re thrilled to become the official beer of Ducati Corse, an iconic brand in the world of motorcycling that shares our passion for excellence and innovation. It’s especially gratifying to partner with two exceptional champions: Pecco Bagnaia, an old friend from his early days in the lower categories, and Marc Márquez, with whom we began our journey in this wonderful sport over a decade ago.”
Mauro Grassilli, Sports Director of Ducati Corse, also welcomed the partnership, stating: “I’m delighted to welcome Estrella Galicia 0.0 to the Ducati universe and, more specifically, to the Ducati Lenovo Team. They’re a brand that has been supporting MotoGP for many years, nurturing young talents who dream of reaching the top category.” With this new partnership, the stage is set for an exciting season ahead, with Estrella Galicia 0.0 and Ducati Corse ready to take on the challenges of the MotoGP world championship together.
