Good recap of the 1977 24 Hour win at Nelson's Ledges, which underlined the message already delivered by Cook Neilson and Phil Schilling at Daytona, that it wasn't just about big power, you needed the whole package, and Ducati had it.

Editor's Note: This continues a series counting down the top 15 stories in MotoGP in 2012, as determined by the Soup staff.
Filippo Preziosi was more than just an engineer and leading brain at Ducati's racing efforts for nearly 20 years—he almost became the face of the team.
Preziosi joined Ducati in 1994 and rode a red rocket to the top of the company's technical chain of command. He became technical director of Ducati Corse in 1999, responsible for development of the company's entries in World Superbike....

This time of year there are a lot of “2012 Top Ten” lists and that got us thinking, what was the most significant thing that happened in the world of Ducati in 2012? Was it Rossi leaving? Audi buying? New models? All important and going forward these things will have a big impact on 2013 and beyond. But standing here, in 2012, looking back, it had to be Cook’s Last Ride…
If you follow Ducati.net you know we are students of the history of the Ducati brand. There is no more important piece of American Ducati history than the Daytona Superbike win of Cook Neilson and Phil Schilling in 1977....

The challenge within designing the new Ducati stand lays on making a modular environment able to fully include and represent the brand values. The answer was a space expressly inspired by the Ducati’s tubular frame, a traditional feature characterizing his bikes since the very beginning. The stand colors, red and white, represent both the brand tradition and the push towards future and high quality. The Ducati stand is reproducible in all sorts of trade shows, easy fitting to the different dimensional and functional needs. Main contractor: Eurostands
For those who have never been to the major motorcycle shows in Europe, like EICMA in Milan and Intermot in Cologne, the Ducati display stand is, even in these over the top settings, truly a stand out display. Constantly one of the most crowded spots in show, the designlayout is huge, impressive and rarely seen in total because is always so full of people. (It's bigger than most Ducati dealerships, contains a full set of meeting offices, a coat room and a VIP area for snacks, coffee and Prosecco) There are several photos on the link above that give the best view of it we have ever come across.

The high performance tyre of the future will be very different to the tyres we drive on today, if the results of a recent design competition are a guide.
No Ducati content but we like the way they are thinking. Extremely futureistic but potentially plausible?

Good synoposis of Audi racing history
