No Ducati Works WSBK for 2011

[C.O.P (Cow On Parole)]

Just had a friend on FB post this. Could it be true? It can't be true. I was really diggin' the rumor that Colin would be going to Ducati for WSBK next year to replace Nori.

DUCATI WILL FOCUS ITS TECHNICAL RESOURCES ON PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE 2011 WORLD SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP WITH A FACTORY TEAM




Borgo Panigale (Bologna - Italy), 27 August 2010 - Ducati, having participated with a factory team in every edition of the World Superbike Championship since it began in 1988, winning 16 Manufacturers

I guess hell can freeze over,as I thought Ducati would never pull out of WSBK.Maybe Val did break the bank.

This is depressing news, I also dont think it helps when you have Checa who is beating the factory boy's. I bet they will come out in 2012 ballz to the wall but my day is ruined now
