When his adventure with Team Aruba.it Racing - Ducati came to an end, Michael Ruben Rinaldi did everything he could to stay on a Panigale V4R and got on the Motocorsa Team bike.  

In his three seasons with the factory team Michael scored four wins and 20 podiums, but especially in the last two years everyone expected more from him, both because he was riding an official bike and because his teammate was winning and dominating the championship. In reality, none of the Ducati riders have ever managed to get closer to Alvaro than Michael did, and between his bike and the private ones there wasn't a huge difference. So much so that now that Rinaldi rides the Motocorsa bike, he honestly continues to say that the difference between the two bikes is minimal. 

But the past is past and we must look to the future. The 27-year-old from Rimini (he will turn 28 on 21 December) is happy with the choice he has made and believes that the environment that has been created in Lorenzo Mauri's team is ideal to allow him to show his full potential
