Re: how come no ducati team?
Duck fans will probably pelt me but the truth is if Ducati ran a team, they would've more than likely expired.
Ducati aficionados will tell you that Ducati doesn't want to "fund" an 8-hour team or Ducati doesn't deem the Zuka 8-Hour "prestigious" enough.
Truth is the Desmo engines would fail - not a design fault, more because of lack of endurance testing on Ducati's part. If they put some R & D into endurance type racing, they probably would finish an endurance race, even win some.
Hold the hostilities Duck fans, I like the Ducks and they're great bikes and can win races, just not endurance races...
