If there is anything that defines Ducati these days, it’s Valentino Rossi. And this weekend, at the biggest Ducati celebration every held, he’s here and using his power for good. It’s difficult not to be star struck by him. One of the highest paid athletes in the world (20th to be exact) he casts his smile on an unsuspecting admirer and it’s like an alien spaceship power light. I watched him work a crowd of reporters and more importantly, one boy in a wheelchair and all you had to know about Valentino Rossi is that when he uses his power for good, it’s some powerful stuff. The joy radiating from that boy was really something to see. Rossi fans are a special breed, they believe he is special. I have always been a Rossi fan and will continue to be one in the future. He defines Italy for me in many ways and the crowds of patient fans, waiting, waiting, waiting for him is just part of the way this works....More here

Forbes Magazine put out their highest paid athlete list this week and Italian Valentino Rossi sits in position number twenty. Forbes states, with no sources listed, of course: "His contract to race for Ducati pays him $17 million annually." Forbes also states that Rossi made $13 million last year in "endorsements".
Okay then.
Best rumors coming from close to the Rossi inner circle are that he is now considering buying a satellite MotoGP team and will race for himself in 2013....More here

We come from all over. We speak different languages. We share one passion. Ducati is all we have in common and it’s everything. The obvious purpose of the World Presidents Meeting is to give the people who wave the flag the highest, a chance to live the dream. Ride Ducati’s in Italy, eat the food, experience the history and see the red,white and green glow that is Italy and it’s people. But what we take home, besides these memories is friendships, alliances, respect and camaraderie, with Ducati staff and other clubs. We hear stories of the price some have paid for their love of the brand (one President, who lives in a country that has become increasingly dangerous, was shot 4 times by thieves trying to steal his Ducati. He drove himself to the hospital, and now rides in a bulletproof vest). Maybe it’s not all so dramatic but these are the people that drive a car to the meet, with tents and boxes, so others can ride. For us, there is no explanation needed why we do it, if you have to ask, well, you probably wouldn’t understand.

For the first quarter of the British Grand Prix, there was a Ducati racing at the front in a dry race, something we’ve not seen for some time. Almost as soon as Nicky Hayden crossed the line with 15 of 20 laps to go, his GP12 changed from something that could match the pace of the leaders into something else entirely.
Hayden lost fourth place to Lorenzo, then fifth to Dovizioso, both times going wide as his bike suddenly wouldn’t turn like it had been doing for the previous four laps. Hayden said in his post-race media scrum that the bike had been great until it destroyed the soft rear tire.
Earlier, when I’d walked onto pit lane and headed for the grid, we felt sprinkles in the air and wondered if the volatile weather was about to change from cool-but-dry to wet-and-even-colder, as it had several times over the weekend....More here
