1999/2000 WSB
 

Just trying to get things straight in my own mind as to where the 2000 SPS fits in WSB - was it the bike that Foggy came off at Philip Island and was then later replaced by Baylis? Am I right or have I got the chronology right? Also has anyone got any pics of the livery from that era?

Chris - your bike was homologated for the 1999 season. I have the 1999 WSB season video review - plenty of footage of Foggy's bike - wanna borrow?

Yep.
Foggy in his last race.Philip Island 2000

Bang on KB and Bayliss came over from the US and took the ride after Foggy's accident and went on to take the new for 2001 Testastretta engine to the world championship in its first year, I remember hearing it for the first time at Valencia and thinking b*****d seeing as I'd just bought my 996SPS at the end of 2000 thinking I'd reached the pinnacle of Ducati motorbikes - yeah for about 4 weeks!!!
But can you remember who rode the 2000SPS between Foggy and Bayliss...... ???? ;)

'99 bike.

Hrmmm .. I thought Bayliss went straight on it?

No?

Luca Cadalora.

I'll go with Cadalora too :D but didn't someone else have a go too........ not sure but ........ Doriano Romboni anyone ??? oooh my 'ead 'urts....

Yep,the name escapes me,.....he did some GP's too.

Well clearly I've got no idea!

Goddit,
Juan Borja


But he did'nt replace the Fog,he replaced B Boz after he moved over to the NCR team.
God I'm good!:D

Juan Borja did a swap with B Bos for sure but I think Rombo might have had a go before Luca on the Fogg's bike.....not sure but just got this vague recollection........when did he break his leg badly anyway ?

Rambo Romboni rode in a privateer team.(sponsored by Bieffe??)I remember he mangled his leg in a nasty accident at Hockenheim.Got caught in the rear wheel or summat.

God that bike looks aged now................:lol::lol:

yeah that's right, maybe Bayliss rode it at Sugo then Cadalora did Donington then Bayliss was back on it at Monza, sounds about right mate?

Can't wait to see the SPS littered with tasteful decals next time we see you Chris?

Bang on mate.
I remember Cancerlora on the bike at Donny.

He was nowhere!

Yeah I thought Luca would go really well and he was crAp R reckon Romboni's crash could've been '99 at Monza thinking about it too....

Bayliss got taken out on the first lap of both races at Sugo - unbelieveable :o

Are we all being helpful here Chris :lol:

look at all the history you'll have in that paint job :frog: :D

that's right first corner, bet was bery plissed off :lol:

I think you could be right,(consults the Motorcourse annual),...yep,10 points and a gold star.:)

Thanks for all the help guys now clear in my own mind. No Richard I am not going to litter the bike with stickers, although it could be an idea for some track bodywork:D:D:cool:

Spot on for the Romboni crash - Monza 1999 Race 1 at the Parabolica...

As he came off his foot caught in the back wheel - not too much of a problem until Rambo and the bike came to the gravel, when the bike flipped over and Snr Romboni didn't - resulting in a severely mashed leg.

I was in the stands - it's still vivid and it wasn't pretty!!!
