ARC will continue its partnership with DesmoSpot Ducati, premier Australian motorcycle racing team for the current and upcoming season of the Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK).

This year, DesmoSport Ducati has a lineup of talented riders taking to the tracks, with pro motorcycle racer Anthony West joining the team, alongside Olly Simpson and Luca Durning.

The season opener kicked off to a strong start last week (20 – 22 Feb) at Philip Island, wtih highlights including Olly Simpson’s Supersport Race 1 victory.

ARC’s branding can be seen predominately on the back of the bike in the left and right corners as it takes to the track, with Marketing Manager for ARC, Chad Van Zyl proud to see the partnership continue and flourish.

Quotes on the partnership…

“ARC is proud to continue its sponsorship of DesmoSport Ducati for the 2026 Australian Superbike Championship. With the team expanding to a three bike lineup across the Superbike and Next Gen Supersport classes, the competition shapes as one of the strongest yet. We’re backing DesmoSport Ducati as the team to beat in 2026, competing at the front and challenging for championship honours throughout the season,” said Van Zyl.

Looking forward to the season ahead, DesmoSport Ducati owner and former Superbike Racer Ben Henry said:

“2026 marks our third season with ARC on board! While the time moves fast, we appreciate the relationships we’ve built both with the ARC team, and the host of ARC customers that we’ve met along the way! We have a challenging season ahead of us with Ant West and Luca Durning aboard our Panigale V4 R Superbikes and Olly Simpson racing a Panigale V2 in the Next Gen Supersport category, but we’re looking forward to sharing our season and our success with the ARC crew!”
