Only running on 1 cylinder

Hello eveeryone I am new here and new to Ducati's. I bought my first Ducati on saturday a 748BP 1996 with only 8200 miles. Now I know the weather was really wet and I've been warned about Italian electrics and wet weather but I had to get the bike home from Ilfracombe, so I had no choise but to ride it. Anyway 25 miles doen the road everthing was going great just had a nice bit of road in front of me so wound it on a bit in top gear just to see how it would pick up and as I hit about 100mph bam sudden loss of power down onto one cylinder. I pulled over and the bike cut out it would start again but only run on the rear cylinder. So AA'd the bike home put it in the garage with a heater to let it dry out. Tried to start it on sunday but still the same. Got home tonight and replaced the spark plugs (nice big spark on each) but still can't get the front cylinder to fire. I did notice that there was fuel in the airbox and also dripping from the front down pipe. I am now at a loss as to do next so could someone please help. Thanks
