With pride and passion: Advocates Ducati with the Union Jack at Donington Park

Over the past twelve months, Australian Lecha Khouri has set up two Superbike teams: one in his home country, and a second to compete in the British series. It was decided at short notice to enter the World Championship with Tommy Bridewell. However, the season opener at Phillip Island came too early – the Ducati V4R was delivered too late – so the team did not make its debut in the 2026 Superbike World Championship until the European opener in Portimão.

After some understandable teething problems, the 37-year-old rookie established himself in the top 15. The round at MotorLand Aragón was exceptional, with the Englishman finishing 5th, 7th and 9th.

A highlight is set to be the second home race at Donington Park from 10 to 12 July. The race in Leicestershire is of particular significance to the team, which they intend to showcase with a special design. The iconic ‘Union Jack’ is emblazoned on the Ducati Panigale V4R.

“This livery represents who we are. We are proud of our Anglo-Australian identity, proud to ride Ducati machines at the very highest level, and proud to compete on the world stage,” emphasised team owner Khouri. “We wanted to create something that celebrates our British heritage whilst also honouring the incredible support of our fans from across the UK. We encourage fans to come and support us at Donington Park and help create an unforgettable atmosphere for our home race.”
