Ducati withdrawing from WSBK 2011

[Zedlite]

Just want to share with Forumers:

 

From 2011 onwards, Ducati will no longer compete with a factory team in the Superbike World Championship, and has decided to limit its participation to the supply of machines and support to private teams.

 

"This decision is part of a specific strategy made by Ducati, the aim being to further increase technological content in production models that will arrive on the market in the coming years. In order to achieve this objective, the company's technical resources, until now engaged with the management of the factory Superbike team, will instead be dedicated to the development of the new generation of hypersport bikes, in both their homologated and Superbike race versions," declared Gabriele Del Torchio, President and CEO of Ducati.

Hi

 

Sorry for sidetracking a bit. I checked with Starhub and they will not be showing WorldSBK live on their channels anymore. For now only MotoGP. Anybody know if Singtel MIO will continue to telecast both MotoGP and WorldSBK on their channels from next year onwards?

 

Thinking of junking my starhub cable TV if MIO can confirm they will show both MotoGP and WorldSBK live from next year onwards.

I have Singtel MIO and they telecast both Motogp (on StarSports and/or ESPN) and WSBK.
