Carl Fogarty is Back With New Ducati BSB Team for 2026

Four-time World Superbike champion Carl Fogarty will venture back into management next year with a brand-new Ducati team in the British Superbike Championship.

The new Ducati team will see Fogarty positioned in the role of team principal for the new Superbike Advocates Racing Team. However, the new Ducati outfit will be set up by Lecha Khouri who is the face of the Supercar Advocates brand.

Khouri’s project already has a team established in the Australian Superbike Championship, but it doesn’t stop there as he is behind “an outfit that owns several racing teams”, according to BSB.

Fogarty, who won all four of his World Superbike titles with Ducati, has also remained close to the Italian brand as he gets set for a second stint in management after he was part of the Petronas Foggy FP1 project in the early-to-mid-2000s.

Speaking to BritishSuperbike.com, Fogarty said: “I am looking forward to being back racing. I am older and wiser now than when I ran a team before and that was a development bike, but this time we will be on a proven bike that can win.

“We want to hit the ground running straight away and be in a position to win races from the off. I love the racing in BSB. Of the three championships I follow – MotoGP, World Superbikes and BSB – it is my favourite one.

“That’s because of how close the racing is, the nature of the circuits that they race on, the power of the bikes and the way that the electronics don’t interfere with the riders, they control it and I can relate to that from when I raced. I’m happy to be part of this and with my racing knowledge and experience, being involved with this race team is incredibly exciting.”

There is currently no news on the riders that will line up for the new Ducati team, but that will be expected later this year as the 2025 campaign is yet to get underway.
