WORLD DUCATI WEEK 2007 BEGINS From June 28th to July 1st, the world’s Ducatisti, along with all others passionate about motorcycling, will descend on the Adriatic coast for the big international festival put on by the house of Borgo Panigale, “World Ducati Week.” The setting for this fifth edition of the “Red Planet” will be the Misano World Circuit, where there will be racing, entertainment, and concerts throughout the week. World Ducati Week has always been synonymous with parties and entertainment, and this year will be no different. However, with the addition of a major local event, WDW 2007 will offer even more fun and excitement. On the night of June 30th, the entire Adriatic Riviera from Rimini to Cattolica will rock to the rhythm of the ‘Notte Rosa,’ the second annual overnight event organized by the Province of Rimini in celebration of summer. In its first public outing, Ducati factory rider Vittoriano Guareschi will ride the long awaited and technologically advanced Desmosedici RR in front of thousands of Ducati fans at the Misano circuit, the site of the project’s announcement at WDW 2004. Speed, performance and passion will not only be on the ground, but also in the sky. For the first time at WDW, there will be a flight demonstration by the “Frecce Tricolori,” the acrobatic team of the Italian air force. On Saturday morning, June 30, at 11:10, the skies over the Misano circuit will be painted red, white and green in a breathtaking show of acrobatics. Using a second track within the Misano circuit, experienced riders will be able to test ride the exciting new Ducati Hypermotard 1100, the revolutionary Multistrada and the iconic Monster. For those who would like to learn how to ride a motorcycle, beginners'' courses are scheduled on this second track as well. Ducati will be offering participants their most experienced instructors in order to help perfect their riding skills in a safe environment. For the sharpest Ducatisti, professors from the ‘Ducati University’; made up of Ducati technicians, designers and directors, will hold conferences on topics such as design and mechanics. Friday and Saturday will be dedicated entirely to the riders of the Ducati Xerox Team that participates in the World Superbike Championship. Two time world champion Troy Bayliss and his team-mate, Lorenzo Lanzi, will be at the circuit for a series of events that will see them involved both on the track with their Ducati 999F07 machines and off-track with visitors in the paddock. Joining the current factory riders will be several legends of Ducati’s past, including Giuliano Maoggi, Cook Neilson, Paul Smart and many others who will all take to the track for parade laps in the seats of historic Ducatis with which they took countless victories.
