Team Pedercini’s adventure starts in 1993, when the Pedercini family decides to give a world chance to his son Lucio, already a stars of the national championship. Lucio thanks with great results and shows excellent qualities and strong determination for an high-level challenging. The pluck he drives his motorbike brings to him and the team the second final position in 1996 among the private (non-official) drivers of the championship.



In 1998 the team leaves the GP Championship for a new adventure: Team Pedercini moves to Superbike. After two years of practice and a second position at the national championship, the team triples its dedication and it lines up three drivers: Lucio Pedercini (who win the Italian championship) and two novices, Marco Borciani and Mauro Sanchini.

In 2002 the team confirms Lucio Pedercini and Marco Borciani. On the contrary, Sanchini’s motorbike is taken over by Serafino Foti. As well Team Pedercini buys new competitive means: Ducati 998 Testastretta, 2001 world champions driven by Troy Bayliss.
At the end of the season the team is one of the top ten team of the world ranking; Lucio Pedercini is national champion again and 13° at the world championship where Marco Borciani is 15° and Foti 25°.

2003 sees the entry of florence driver Nello Russo. Unfortunately the driver occurs in a accident at the third race and its injury will keep him out for the rest of the season. The same destiny hits Serafino Foti after two races. The fortune of the team is now on Lucio’s shoulders only; but at the end of the season he gets his best result ever: 9° classified at the world ranking.

In 2004 Gianluca Nannelli, Supersport national champion, is signed by Team Pedercini. During the season he results to be one of the best novices of the championship: that confirms the talent scouts qualities of Donato Pedercini. Under the supervision of the team manager, Nannelli matures during the season up to be contacted by Official Ducati Supersport for the 2005 season. Lot of injuries for Lucio Pedercini; he can challenge only few race where – nevertheless – he gets good results such as the pole-position at Misano Adriatico.

In 2005 sees Lucio persecuted by bad luck. An injury at the back, with consequent backache, have a negative influence on all the season, however he gets the second position at national championship. Alessio Velini and Ivan Clementi (joined during the season) are Lucio’s team mates. Just Clementi will show excellent qualities during races and qualifies.

2006 and 2007 are not lucky season for the Team Pedercini. (…) In the 2007 season the team bets on the Superstock championship where it puts on the bike two young South Africans with great talent. Several injuries penalized Morais’ season and he loose the chance to fight for the first place; as well Gildenhuys, started from the back lines, improves his performance race by race, and he finishes little far from the top-ten at the end of the season. After ten seasons full of satisfactions the team decides to turn the corner and to close the adventure with Ducati.
