Just getting my exhaust done at Wayne Jacksons and surfing away and found this which is well smart. Check it out dudes! (hope it the link works)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducati_...e_Championship

Some history here. Sounds like there was some great battles.

I was going to put Pole Positions as an extra category on the Wiki Page, but need a bit of help. Can anyone help me fill in the blanks:

2005:
Cadwell:
Castle:
Snetterton:
Donington:
Brands:
Cadwell:
(what capacity were the 2005 bikes?)

2006:
Cadwell: ClassA: Class B:
Brands: ClassA: Class B:
Assen: ClassA: Class B:
CastleOulton: ClassA: Class B:
Donington: ClassA: Class B:
Snetterton: ClassA: Class B:
Cadwell: ClassA: Class B:

2008:
Assen: ClassA Class B:

2011:
Castle: ClassA:

2005 was a single grid year. Engines could be 674cc carb (583 with the DP 680cc big-bore kit) or 618cc FI (Class A) ... although some decided to get the best of both and run 674cc FI engines

It's marked in Wiki as being "675" rather than 620 or 583.

It was 2006, the second year, that there was a split into the two classes as it was obvious that the bikes were not equal.

If you want results sheets, they can be found here:

The exception is the Assen rounds which you can get here:

2006 Assen: Class A: Dominic Cann Class B: Phil Huntley?
I can't see Assen 2008 in their results though.

The results isn't actually loading up any pdf's on my laptop (tried Chrome and Windows Explorer). Also, it only goes back to 2006, not 2005.

Try the New Era site? http://www.neweramcc.org/

Not sure about 2005. I'm sure I have them all in a folder at home though.

NewEra also only goes back to 2006 and doesn't include Assen or 2011 Castle Combe results.

I used the New Era pages (plus results I have from the past 2 season) to make up the following list:

That is because I had poles in 2010 and 2011. Quite a few other names up there more than once if you look. I was setting it up the same as the Wins/season already on the Wiki site to keep everything to the same format.

[bradders]

ar yeah sorry, thought they both said 2011, must be the drugs
