Ducati Xerox Complete Testing Session At Monza
12 April 2008
The Ducati Xerox Team spent yesterday and this morning on track at Monza with official factory riders Troy Bayliss and Michel Fabrizio continuing to test the performance of the Ducati 1098 F08. Despite heavy rainfall on both days the two riders managed to complete a decent number of laps yesterday while only Fabrizio went out this morning. The test session proved extremely useful for the Ducati Xerox Team, as this was the first real chance that the riders have had to test the F08 in such conditions. The team were able to collate important data regarding the capabilities of the new machine at this track, in preparation for Round 5 of the World Superbike championship which will be held here at Monza next month.

Bayliss Brings 999 Era To An End For Ducati Xerox
08 October 2007
Troy Bayliss (Ducati Xerox) brought the Ducati 999 era to an end as he finished second and fifth in the final two races of the year in front of 75,000 spectators at Magny-Cours in France. With both wins going to Noriyuki Haga (Yamaha) and the title in the hands of James Toseland (Honda), the 38 year-old Australian concluded the 2007 championship in fourth place on 372 points. Team-mate Lorenzo Lanzi had a disappointing end to his period in the factory Ducati Xerox Team with a nasty high-speed crash at the start of race 1. Lorenzo suffered bruising to his right shoulder, elbow and knee, which forced him to miss race 2. The Manufacturers' title went to Yamaha, with Ducati in second place, but there was satisfaction for the Italian manufacturer today as 19 year-old Niccolò Canepa clinched the FIM Superstock 1000 Cup with the new twin-cylinder Ducati 1098S in its first year of competition.
