Do you think Zanetti's performance at Indy will prompt Ducati into supporting a team in the MotoAmerica series next year? -Bob

I hope so although I wish Kyle would get some support as well. - Gene "I Know a Few Roads" Patriot Guard Rider AMA Charter Life Member #598925 Charter Member #166 of the Victory Motorcycle Club DUCATI.net Member USDESMO Member #1263 EX-MSF Instructor EX-President Mid Atlantic Ducati Owners Club Victory's - 01' V92SC, 04' Kingpin, 16' XC Tour Ducati's - 02' M900, 13' Diavel HD - 09' XR1200 ________________________________ From: Ducati <ducati-bounces@list.ducati.net> on behalf of Bob Ryan <ryanr256@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, October 11, 2020 6:49 PM To: Ducati Owners Group <ducati@ducati.net> Subject: [Ducati] Spoiler - MotoAmerica Indianapolis Do you think Zanetti's performance at Indy will prompt Ducati into supporting a team in the MotoAmerica series next year? -Bob

Normally when someone like Zanetti shows up it’s at least partly to assess the competiveness of the current team. This weekend will likely prove to be a problem for Kyle. But if the assessment in Borgo Panigale is the bike can win with the right rider, and that can turn into Superbike sales, any factory would at least consider a program. On that note, did anyone pay attention to last weeks GP test where the testers were on race bikes but the active riders were on street machines? The street Ducati electronics were pretty impressive. There’s no doubt it’s a cutting edge tool even by MotoGP/SBK standards.

Bob I think Ducati Corse is supporting Celtic racing. He is a factory rider in Europe. They question is will they support a full season in moroamerica Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 11, 2020, at 6:50 PM, Bob Ryan <ryanr256@gmail.com> wrote: > >  > Do you think Zanetti's performance at Indy will prompt Ducati into supporting a team in the MotoAmerica series next year? > > -Bob > > > > > To get the links and updates on all today's Ducati news: > http://www.ductalk.com/ > and > https://www.facebook.com/ducnet > _____________________ > Ducati mailing list > Ducati@list.ducati.net > http://list.ducati.net/mailman/listinfo/ducati_list.ducati.net > Mailto: mcacorse@aol.com

The talk at the track was how Ducati Corse took a WSBK spec bike and created a MotoAmerica spec bike. They said the big difference between the two is that the MA bike uses a stock transmission. The other topic was how the WSBK bike was built for Pirelli tires and no one knows how it, and Zanetti, will perform with Dunlops. Also, I think Celtic has been replaced with Warhorse (maybe?). Kyle had a rough weekend. They are using a stock motor in his bike and he's not found a set up he's comfortable with. Although, he did finish 5th in race 3. He was doing well in race 2, but made a mistake at turn 1 which put him in 14th. He finished 9th in race 2. -Bob On Sun, Oct 11, 2020, 19:33 Vicki Smith <Vicki@ducati.net> wrote: > Normally when someone like Zanetti shows up it’s at least partly to assess > the competiveness of the current team.
