The homologation rules are pretty slack, anyone bought a road going FPR 1 yet? 2002 998r had the latest shortstroke 999r motor. You are allowed a certain amount of mixing and matching but they would probabaly draw the line at sticking some 999 bodywork on a 998!! Racing is not always about having the latest kit but, a big difference is confidence and whats going on in your head. A top result for an old boy who thought he would be selling ice creams a couple of years ago before he set up his own team. You will struggle to find a more popular bloke in the paddock. What a dilemma for Ducati Corse, happy that a local boy has won but on a old yellow bike!!? Ray |
