No Points For The Pramac D'Antin In Estoril
17 September 2007
The fourteenth race in the World Championship finished with Valentino Rossi returning to his winning ways in flamboyant style, while Championship points leader, Casey Stoner, rode a measured race to finish comfortably in third place, almost all but securing the World Championship for Ducati within the next two races, the second coming at Casey's home race of Australia. Bad luck struck the two riders wearing Pramac D'antin colors, and neither rider was able to finish the race, despite their best efforts.

Fifth Row Start For Barros
15 September 2007
The final day of Free Practice and Qualifying in Estoril for the MotoGP class was run in a strong heat that only served to stoke the fires inside the pilots of the Pramac D'antin Ducati as they sought to fight for a top spot in the Grid. Unfortunately, the times did not improve, compared to yesterday's, to the necessary degree, and as such, Alex Barros will start from the fifth row, alongside Marlboro Ducati Factory pilot, Loris Capirossi, and right behind them they are joined by the Desmosedici of Alex Hofmann.

Barros 9th In Estoril Free Practice
15 September 2007
The circuit of Estoril is hosting round fourteen of the MotoGP World Championship. The Portuguese circuit is located just a few kilometers from the coast, and is reknowned for being a tricky and technical track, as well as having shifting weather patterns. Due to the circuit’s emphasis on high speed cornering and low-speed flickability, the right balance of the motorcycle and tires is fundamental. The Pramac-d´Antin team finished the first day of Free Practices with Alex Barros in ninth and Alex Hofmann in eighteenth.

Barros Retires With Electrical Problems
03 September 2007
A difficult weekend concludes that sees a lone five points scored by Alex Hofmann who finished strongly in eleventh place here in Misano. Alex Barros, riding a brilliant race and making a comeback from seventeenth on the grid and fighting for sixth place regrettably dropped out of the race with an electrical problem. The German pilot continues to heal from his accident in Laguna Seca, and rode a solid race, making time lap after lap and having a great battle with Shinya Nakano, ultimately losing in the final laps when his hand had lost strength under hard braking.

Unfortunate Day For The Pramac D´antin Team
01 September 2007
Sunny skies and beautiful weather masked what was a very dark day for the Pramac Dántin riders. After an intense two hour morning free practice, due to the cancellation of two free sessions yesterday afternoon following a tremendous rain storm, the riders quickly recovered their strength and went back out in the afternoon for the Qualifying session. The goal was to find the optimum settings for the bike, but with the time lost because of the yesterday’s weather, what resulted was a not what the team had hoped for.

Soggy San Marino!
01 September 2007
The thirteenth race of the MotoGP World Championships takes place with a second visit to Italy, at the circuit of Misano, along the beautiful Adriatic coastline. The circuit has not been raced at by the World Championship since 1993, when multiple time World Champion, Wayne Rainey, was severely injured during that year’s race. The first free practice of the morning saw the Pramac Dántin riders on rain tires, and due to both the inclement weather and their lack of experience at this circuit, they were not able to determine much about the track, which is being run in the opposite direction as normal.

Alex Hofmann Ninth At His Home GP
16 July 2007
The tenth MotoGP championship appointment concluded with a hotly contested race characterized by a lot of crashes. In the sweltering heat of the afternoon sun at Sachsenring, which saw track temperatures soar past 50 degrees celsius, many riders were unable to finish their races, and unfortunately one of the victims of this situation was Alex Barros, who lost the front after nine laps and crashed. Fortunately, he did not injure his damaged right hand further, which was hurt in a large crash on Friday morning, and aside from additional aches and pains, Barros is ready for the upcoming Red Bull US Grand Prix in Monterey, California, just one week away.

Barros On The Third Row At Sachsenring
15 July 2007
Under bright sunshine and scorching track temperatures, the Pramac Dántin riders took to the track for the second day of the Grand Prix of Germany. Alex Barros, still in pain from the yesterday morning’s crash, performed superbly and will start the race from the third row alongside the Factory Ducati of Loris Capirossi. The Brazilian rider had hoped for something more at this racetrack, but is justifiably happy with his qualifying result that was remarkably set using Bridgestone race tires instead of the qualifying rubber. Even more, the time was set while riding with a right hand injury that made hard braking and delicate throttle control very difficult, something that the tight and technical Sachsenring circuit demands. With the race set-up of his Desmosed ici well defined, Barros brings considerable confidence to the starting grid for tomorrow’s race.

Second Consecutive Race For Pramac D’Antin Team
26 June 2007
Concluded the eight race at Donington Park, Pramac d’ Antin Team moves to Holland to face the second consecutive North European appointment, that represents the ninth world championship MotoGP round. This time too, it will not be a simple race for the Pramac d’Antin guys who should compete one more time in a very technical track, surely not so easy from the set-up point of view, even though the Ducati Desmosedici demonstrated to be competitive in every kind of track. Another point of advantage could be the Bridgestone tires that last year proved to be able to reach the podium.
