Danilo Carlo Petrucci (born 24 October 1990) is an Italian Grand Prix motorcycle racer who has competed in the MotoAmerica Superbike Championship with Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati New York.

[3] For most of 2022, Petrucci was based in Scranton, Pennsylvania, U.S., riding a Ducati Panigale V4R in the AMA Superbike Championship series, finishing second at the last event in September.

[4][5] In November of that same year it was announced that Petrucci would return to the Barni Ducati team, this time in the Superbike World Championship.

[7] Born in Terni, Petrucci began racing in 1998 with mini-trial and mini-cross bikes, achieving some national trophies.

Petrucci remained with Ioda for the 2014 season, however the team dropped back to a single entry in the championship and returned to Aprilia machinery.

Petrucci suffered a fractured wrist from a crash during the warm-up session for the Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez.

On 1 October 2014, it was announced that Petrucci would leave the Ioda team and move to Pramac Racing with a two-year contract, starting with the 2015 season.

After starting 18th on the grid, Petrucci moved through the order in wet conditions, and ultimately finished second behind Valentino Rossi.

Upon return he once again excelled in wet conditions during Dutch TT where he set the fastest lap and briefly led before the race was stopped (he ultimately retired with an electrical failure).

[16] On 26 September 2022, it was announced that Petrucci would replace the injured Joan Mir for the Thailand Grand Prix in Buriram, after the US Superbike season had ended.

[24] In 2025, Petrucci returned to the Dakar as a technician in the Trucks category for MM Technology alongside fellow Italians Claudio Bellina and Marco Arnoletti in an Iveco PowerStar.

[25] Petrucci won both legs of his inaugural race in the 2022 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship at COTA, near Austin, Texas, on the weekend of 9 and 10 April.

In 2024, Petrucci improved his results to 5th overall with 10 podiums, including a sweep of all three racing sessions at the inaugural Italian round at Cremona Circuit.
