Stoner Rides Around Problems
13 April 2008
Casey Stoner produced another example of the class and maturity that made him World Champion as he overcame an unfortunate technical problem to salvage a worthy sixth place. Shortly after the start of the race a part of the on-board camera on Casey's GP8 came lose, flapping dangerously between his handlebars and front fairing. After dropping all the way back to eleventh place, Stoner showed great composure and skill to fix the problem himself before putting together a sensational comeback that saw him set the fourth fastest lap of the race on his way to sixth place. That was enough to seal 10 crucial points that keep the Australian holding firmly to fourth place in the championship.

Ducati Marlboro Team Ready For Another Huge Challenge
04 April 2008
Following on from a fruitful day of testing after the second round of the season at Jerez, which allowed the Ducati Marlboro Team to resolve some of the problems experienced during the weekend in Spain, the riders and staff are now ready to tackle the third instalment of 2008 at the Estoril circuit in Portugal. The Autodromo Fernando Pires de Silva is notorious for its lack of grip and it promises to be another tough challenge for the team. However, the technicians and riders are as prepared as always to give 100% at a circuit where Casey Stoner overcame a problematic race to seal a crucial podium last year, when Marco Melandri crossed the line in fifth place.

Ducati Marlboro Team Return To Europe For Spanish Classic
21 March 2008
After a fantastic opening to the 2008 season under the floodlights of Qatar, where the Losail circuit played host to another masterclass from Casey Stoner, MotoGP returns to Europe this weekend for one of its classic fixtures - the Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez de la Frontera. Despite setting the fastest lap in wet conditions during the Official Test here in February, when he also found excellent race pace in the dry, the reigning World Champion is also aware that the Andalusian track is one of only four venues where he didn't manage a podium finish on his way to the title last season.

The Australian grabbed the lead after the first few corners of the first lap and was never challenged from there, running away from the pack to win by an emphatic 9.865 seconds. Today's victory followed a similarly faultless two days of practice and qualifying - Stoner topped all five pre-race sessions aboard his awesome Desmosedici GP7.

Capirossi Back Up To Speed And On Podium
15 July 2007
Ducati Marlboro Team rider Loris Capirossi rode a brilliant race to second place in punishing heat at the Sachsenring this afternoon, while team-mate Casey Stoner came home in fifth to maintain his lead at the top of the World Championship. Capirossi chose a different compound rear Bridgestone to Stoner and the Italian's choice paid dividends in the later stages of the race when he came through from fourth place to second. The newly resurfaced Sachsenring is ultra-demanding on tyres and today's ground temperature of more than 50 degree made tyre choice even more critical than usual. Capirossi attributed his speed to a revised engine spec and weight distribution, as well as a canny tyre choice.
