A guy from the ducati-superbikes.com forum actually took this shot, he works for mottogpmatters.

I personally have never seen the swingarm spark unless someone was falling (and he didn't).

How low can you go?

I promise to make better mistakes tomorrow.

I know....WSB isn't MotoGP, but at least this is Ducati related....

THE DUCATI XEROX TEAM TO EXPERIMENT WITH LIVE STREAMING FROM THE GARAGE AT IMOLA


During the upcoming World Superbike weekend,  to be held at the Italian circuit of Imola from 25th to 27th September, the Ducati Xerox Team, in collaboration with Ducati.com, will allow fans from around the world the chance to see right to the heart of the action, by providing live streaming direct from Noriyuki Haga’s garage on both Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th September.
A brand new experience, with the live and uncut footage undoubtedly spiking the interest of the countless passionate fans who are following the Superbike racing as the season comes to a thrilling climax. This is a way for the loyal fans, sponsors and Ducatisti to participate, allowing them  a “fly on the wall” view of the unique, adrenalin-fuelled world of the motorcycle racer and his team.
With only three races left, and with both of the Ducati Xerox riders, Noriyuki Haga and Michel Fabrizio, in the running for the rider’s title, the experiment is thus implemented for the very first time at Imola, which is of course hosting what is the “home round” for Ducati.
Never before has a motorcycle racing team initiated such a project and, if all goes to plan at Imola, the service will also be available during the final two rounds, at Magny-Cours and Portimao.
A web-cam, positioned this time in Haga’s pit garage, will be activated between 14.00 and 17.00 on Saturday and between 09.00 and 17.00 on Sunday, allowing users to log on to the official Ducati site - www.ducati.com <http://www.ducati.com>  â€" and watch live streaming of “Nitro-Nori” and his technical team in action during Superpole, Sunday warm-up and the all-important races.
For more information, log on to www.ducati.com <http://www.ducati.com>  from Monday 21st September. The Ducati Xerox Team awaits you at Imola!



I thought the next race was in two weeks, but it's next week.  Sorry for the confusion, Karl and Larry.

One more for the WSB mill.....apparently Troy Bayliss has asked to return to Ducati for 2010 and has been REBUFFED!!!  They say they have no space for him.  Read the full story, below.

I'd love to see Troy back on a Ducati, but this is pretty late to jump into the game, and he knows it.  Wonder if he's angling for a way to get out of his Ducati representation contract and get onto another bike?   [moto]

As our fine friend the mouse would say...  "holy make the beast with two backs balls!" 

This is going to be a very good year to watch motogp.  Cant wait
If you love your bike, set it free.
If it comes back to you, you've
probably high-sided.

Y'all sing with me!!!  "It's the MOST wonderful time of the year....with MotoGP and Ben Spies in the lead, and Rossi in rear...it's the MOST wonderful time of the year....tra la la...."

How about a preview of Spies in MotoGP later this year at Valencia?  He's going to race as a wildcard....and the WSB season will be overwith, so he can put his head down and show his stuff without risking missing a WSB round!!

6th at last year's Indianapolis GP.....on an ill-handling and underpowered Suzuki!  That's better than Capirossi, who rode the thing all season.

This ought to be fun.   [thumbsup]
