New Ducati BSB team to unveil its Panigale V4 in October
Ducati’s new British Superbike team is set to unveil its Panigale V4 colours on 5 October.
The team that was supposed to be led by Carl Fogarty, Superbike Advocates, will soon unveil its Ducati Panigale V4 colours for the 2026 BSB campaign.
The team, which is run by owner Lee Khouri, already competes in the Australian Superbike Championship and “will use aspects” of that team’s design for its BSB livery. It will also use the colours of the Italian flag, meaning it will take after the Panigale V4 Tricolore edition in some fashion.

The Superbike Advocates team, which is also set to reveal its new rider later this year, has already had an up-and-down journey just to get to BSB.
If you’ve been following the story, you will know that earlier this year the excitement for British racing fans went through the roof when it was confirmed that Carl Fogarty would become a management figure for the team.
The partnership between Superbike Advocates and Fogarty began in March, however, the two sides then parted ways at the end of August, with the former four-time WorldSBK champion having “too many doubts”.
Despite the surprising news, the team has been carrying on with its intention to join BSB in 2026, and its livery reveal will now take place at Oulton Park, on 5 October.
“We’re super excited to be showcasing the new livery we’ll be using when we enter the Bennetts British Superbike Championship next year. And it felt right to do this in front of the passionate BSB fans.
“We've put a lot of time, detail and thought process into this all-exclusive British Superbike design. We wanted our Panigale to look aggressive and incorporate a bit of our Australian Superbike design. And it was important to feature the Italian tricolore too, so our colour scheme could stay true to Ducati’s rich racing heritage.
“We can’t wait for British Superbike fans to be present for our livery unveil on 5th October, and the team’s really excited for Oulton Park as the Championship gets ever closer to the Brands Hatch finale. This season has seen some brilliant racing as always, and we can’t wait to be a part of it in 2026.”
