Rahal Ducati Moto will field PJ Jacobsen, Kayla Yaakov and Corey Alexander in the MotoAmerica Supersport class in 2025, the team announced at a news conference at Mid-Ohio today.

“The team has performed phenomenally, and we are proud of the way our riders have represented us,” said Graham Rahal, team co-owner.

So far, each of the team’s riders has been on the podium at least twice, and Jacobsen has won six races and the last three in a row. The level of success is remarkable for a new team. It was only last October when Rahal Ducati Moto announced plans to race Ducati Panigale V2 machines in MotoAmerica, and the team’s first-ever race was at the MotoAmerica race at Daytona this year.

Jacobsen and Yaakov ride in the Rahal Ducati Moto with XPEL squad, while Alexander rides with the Rahal Ducati Moto with Roller Die + Forming backing.

Rahal said the team has not yet ruled out moving up to Superbike in the near future, but wanted to consolidate its Supersport team and provide its riders assurance that they had a ride for next season. “We want to make sure we didn’t take a step sideways or backward,” Rahal said. “We haven’t closed that chapter (on moving up to Superbike), but we’ll make a decision sooner rather than later.”

For Alexander, often a privateer, having a ride for the following season aready sealed in August was a huge relief. It meant a big change from March rolling around and him “stacking pennies and going, are we going to make it?” he said.
