Yeah but with no factory effort why stick with the penalties of running a twin? Betcha a bunch of those duc privateers defect to aprilia, bmw, or maybe kawasaki

Where's Colin Edwards going to be now? Will Ducati loose the favoritism that gave them a weight break? Will privateers be able to talk their way into less intake restriction? Will Duc privateer teams have the funds to snap up premium riders and crew from anywhere???

Just too many questions.

Sounds like colin is trying to get resigned with t3.

Ducati's asshole is hurtin' from the pounding it takes by Aprilia.

What a bunch of wusses. And that's why they're known as the Harley-Davidson of Italy.

They aren't looking very good after this, cert not after the history of lobbying for special rules and exceptions in sbk. The back handed shots at aprilia turning it into a "prototype" series aren't helping either

Heard they were losing a lot of their "special" twin considerations and decided to hang it up.

I guess this means there won't be a 1298 now.

Well I would have considered this a wtf post but not now. I can't believe Ducati would pull out.
