Cagiva owned Ducati from 1985 until TPG bought out out 51% in 1996 - hence both the Cagiva Mito using the same shadow as the 916 and also Foggy entering the British GP in 1993 on the V593.
Don't forget that a lot of work on the original 916 was done at the Cagiva Research Centre, hence the "CRC" initials on airtubes of the very early 916 bikes.
