Getting technical
In Italian English
Make that a double please
Dominating race one and two, Haga made the perfect weekend for Ducati, Fabrizio was the tail man and made a couple of nice passes on Haga, but the Japanese came back just to clinch his sixth win of the season..apart from the last 2 rounds race 2 was a bit boring without Ben Spies of Yamaha pressure on team Ducati, the Texan had to retire after gear problems.
Intense action from Monza
Poor Spies ran out fuel 🙁 i guess the Ducati is more fuel efficient 🙂
Sharing is caring
Michel Fabrizio (Ducati Xerox) and Ben Spies (Yamaha World Superbike) shared the wins at one of the most exciting Superbike rounds in Monza today.
Fabrizio won race 1 after Spies ran out of fuel meters from the finish line…in race 2 Spies dominated from start to finish and after a few laps cruised alone to the checker flag.
Noriyuki Haga (Ducati Xerox) crashed in race 2 after being hit by a bird, BMW Ruben Xaus finished in ninth place.
Ducati Color Therapy
Ducati is the world’s first motorcycle manufacturer to offer 13 different colours for just one model, the new Monster 696 is now available in 13 different colors.
Italians do it better
To expand it’s range, Ducati has hinted at more than one occasion that it could go into a new line that it has not competed in yet, the new line is to compete against the likes of Harley-Davidson..!!
Bar-Design made some renders of the rumored cruiser… its said that the 1400cc 170hp prototype is running, and is being tested at the Bologna factory.
A superb win for Stoner
Although i’am a huge fan of Rossi but i just can’t hide my enjoyment of Stoner’s performance on the Ducati at opening race of the 2009 MotoGP in Qatar yesterday , at one point Sorner managed to increase the gap between him and Rossi to around 5sec with a top speed of 330Km…looks like its going to be a tough battle this season with the 2 Yamaha riders finishing second and third.
Next race is will take place at the Motegi circuit in Japan on the 26th of April, the Netherlands will be hosting the forth round of the World Super Bike at the same day as well.

Doppio Ducati
I was surfing the net when i came across the Ducati Café website !!!
Yep Ducati is into the restaurant business… and why not, its a great brand extension, am guessing after they launched and drank the DesmoRosso wine they found out that they need to eat…..after they ate it’s time for a Doppio Espresso, this is when the Flash of Genius hit them “we need a Ducati Café”.
Who would you give the credit to, the Alcohol or the Caffeine?
