Ducati to auction 12 unique Panigale V4s
« on: July 18, 2018, 02:11:22 AM »
This weekend a dozen of Ducati’s star riders will go head-to-head on technically-identical Panigale V4S machines. And afterwards the bikes will go straight onto eBay for anyone to bid on.

Dubbed Ducati’s own ‘Race of Champions’ the contest takes place on Saturday 21 July at Misano, as the highlight of the annual World Ducati Weekend. It will see works GP stars Andrea Dovizioso, Jorge Lorenzo and Michele Pirro take on Pramac MotoGP riders Danilo Petrucci and Jack Miller on like-for-like machines. Other MotopGP riders on the grid will be Avintia Racing’s Esteve Rabat and Karel Abraham of the Angel Nieto Team. 

From the world of WSB, Ducati will field Aruba.it team mates Chas Davies, Marco Melandri and Aruba.it Junior Team’s Michael Ruben Rinaldi, plus Barni Racing’s Javier Forés.

Oh, and to throw a spanner in the works for all of them, Troy Bayliss – who’s dusted off his leathers to compete in the Australian Superbike Championship this year – is also lining up on the grid.

 Wonder if all 12 will survive or maybe they will all play nice.
