Ducati is a company with a unique philosophy, inspired by the extremely close bond with its racing activities, that has led to the development of a profound synergy between the work undertaken on its competition motorcycles and its consumer products. This is one of the fundamental reasons why racing is such an important commitment - it allows us to transfer the precious know-how gained through development on the racetrack directly to road bike production.An important part of the resources dedicated to racing are covered by the proceeds coming from our sponsors, whom Ducati wishes to thank for their fundamental support, as well as television rights and licensing products. Thanks to the combination of Casey Stoner’s amazing racing talent, technology and all-Italian passion in addition to a remarkable but sustainable investment, in 2007 it was possible for the team to secure Ducati’s first MotoGP riders’ World Championship, completing the hat-trick with the constructors’ World Championship and also the team’s World Championship. This historic result can only encourage us towards other important and significant goals, both in the sporting and commercial arenas.
