World Ducati Week 2010 Coming

The star lineup for the upcoming World Ducati Week (WDW) 2010 event has been recently revealed by Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati. Factory riders Nicky Hayden and Casey Stoner from the Ducati MotoGP Team and Michel Fabrizio and Noriyuki Haga from the Ducati Xerox Superbike Team, as well as Ducati guest stars Carlos Checa, Shane Byrne, Ducati MotoGP test rider, Franco Battaini and the legendary Troy Bayliss, are all included on the list.

Dubbed “The Red Planet Returns,” this year’s WDW event will take place at the Misano World Circuit in Italy starting June 12.

The Ducati Garage Contest will pick 10 best specials that will remain on display for everyone to see throughout the WDW event.

A Test Ride area for the entire 2010 Ducati range, including the new Multistrada 1200, will also be featured. In fact, holders of a 4-Day Pass will be entered into a prize draw with a Multistrada 1200 going to one lucky winner. A Travel Experience holiday will be up for grabs for the second place and a thrilling AMG-Mercedes Driving Academy safe driving course at the Imola race track for the third.

The Ducati Vintage Contest will select the best restored and maintained machines and the winning owner will be crowned King or Queen of the Red Planet.

A special round of the Ducati Desmo Challenge championship will also take place at Misano. Moreover, the Dutch Ducati Dealer Cup championship consists of eight races held on legendary circuits across Europe and is open to all Ducati models including 1098, 848, 998 and 749 as well as special models like the Pierobon or the NCR Millona.

On Sunday, 13 June, Paolo Pirozzi, President of the Ducati Dreams Club of Naples, will blast-off from the Red Planet of Misano aboard a new Multistrada 1200 S for a year-long, round-the-world trip.

Finally, Playboy bunnies will provide quality entertainment at the much anticipated Bike Wash.
