It is also the story of riders such as Mike Hailwood and Paul Smart, who propelled the Ducati racing team to victory in the 1970s, and four time World Champion Carl Fogarty, whose handling of the 996 model made modern-day Ducati the envy of the industry. This new edition brings the legend right up to date.
DUCATI; THE OFFICIAL RACING HISTORY captures the spirit of this most evocative of machines, with stunning photographs of bikes old and new, plus historic images of the great racing events of the past and exclusive posters and drawings from the archives of the Ducati museum. It celebrates the technological break-throughs and the challenges faced in the pursuit of excellence, and the legendary races which made the Ducati name synonymous with success.
