Nicky Hayden Inaugurates Ducati India Showroom

Ducati MotoGP factory rider Nicky Hayden was invited yesterday to inaugurate the Ducati Store in Gurgaon, Mumbai, India's second Ducati showroom. The 2006 MotoGP World Champion was welcomed by Ashish Chordia, CEO of Precision Motor India Private Limited, a company with which Ducati had just signed a distribution agreement.

Chordia, together with Mirko Bordiga, CEO of Ducati Asia Pacific, introduced Hayden to a numerous group of national journalists and the American rider spoke to them about the experience of being a Ducati rider, his first season with the factory MotoGP team, and his goals for 2010, when he will line up alongside Casey Stoner.

"This event has made me understand the great strategic importance of a market such as India," Nicky Hayden commented. "his great potential and above all, how well Ducati and MotoGP is known, appreciated and how the company is capable of attracting passionate fans, both from a commercial and sporting point of view. I am happy that there is such great interest in us and such anticipation ahead of next season. Last year, after a difficult start, we made continuous improvement towards the end and after the Valencia tests I am very excited for next year and can't wait to get back on my Ducati."

"The Ducati brand symbolizes racing success and passion,"
Ashish Chordia, CEO of Precision Motor India Private Limited, said in a release, "and we couldn't have a better testimonial than Nicky's to reinforce this perception. With the opening of Gurgaon showroom Ducati is now able to reach its customers in both the key markets - Delhi and Mumbai - where we will provide the best level of Sales and After Sales Service available in the market."
