Paolo Ciabatti will most likely be named the new Director of racing activities at Ducati. His role within the company could actually be much larger than that, however, considering the experience he has gained in nearly six years as the right hand man to the Flammini's in World Superbike.Read more: http://www.gpone.com/index.php/en/201210198598/Ducati-brings-back-Ciabatti.html#ixzz29qJf8cBd

Troy Bayliss will be back on the track at Sepang Monday, after the Grand Prix, riding a Ducati. The return, however, will not be linked to his (old) testing role.
The Australian champion, in fact, was summoned along with Loris Capirossi to take a driving course for the lucky fans of the Ducati local school, so presumably drive a 1199 Panigale.
For the nostalgic, however, a wonderful opportunity.

The first changes to SBK following Dorna being put in charge of the series? Emphasizing its bikes’ basis in production machines. We already saw some teams running them this summer, but for 2013, all bikes will need to sport tacky fake headlights. Pit stops are also making a return, albeit without refueling; wheel sizes are growing to 17 inches; weights for twins and fours are now even and starting grids are being re-arranged.

Fighter? Really, it’s more of a Streetlover.
Need to inspect your front tire? Just lean forward half an inch and look down over the Streetfighter’s little instrument panel. Thar she blows. Looks fine. The Triumph Street Triple R may be 2.4 inches shorter of wheelbase and 23 pounds lighter, but I think I feel even more forward, perched atop and in control of the Streetfighter.
“Street-going dirtbike” is the cliché, and in the SFighter’s case, it fits—except I can touch the ground. This one’s really skinny between the thighs in the way only a V-Twin or Single can be, and its instant thrust and Ducati bark reinforce the off-road motif. Then there’s the tapered aluminum handlebar. And though you don’t get the Öhlins suspension with this $6K-cheaper small Streetfighter, the 848’s Marzocchi/Sachs combo feels a tad softer and longer-travel than the $18,995 Streetfighter S model’s expensive stuff. For streetfighting with potholes, bumps and assorted detritus, this seems like a reasonably good compromise, though the S-bike provides superior wheel control when the mission switches to serious high-speed sporty riding.

Japanese MotoGP at the Twin Ring Motegi, Nicky Hayden is hoping a new Ducati swingarm he will try for the first time in Sepang this weekend will boost his hopes of a strong finish to a disappointing 2012.
The American will get the new swingarm factory Ducati teammate Valentino Rossi has been using since Misano for this weekend’s Malaysia clash, which gives Hayden an immediate chance to bounce back from a tough weekend in Japan.
