A Season Full of Success for the Y1K Ducati Women’s Motorcycle Racing Team After two successful years on the national and international circuits with riders Paola Cazzola and Chiara Valentini, the Official Ducati Women’s Team is preparing to continue its tradition of excellent riding and high technical standards that fans have come to expect.

The 2007 Official Women’s Team will have two new riders: Letizia Marchetti, one of the few riders who were able to keep up with Paola Cazzola last season, and Nina Prinz, the tough and talented German rider, who was already a national champion at only 17.

These two riders will participate in the Super Stock 1000 category as the stars of the 2007 Ducati Women’s Team. With their new 1098 S Superbikes, these women will compete to be the first to cross the finish line and to add new prestigious victories to the Ducati successes of past seasons.

The Ducati Women’ s Team would not be complete without Romana Fede. After a great season last year in the Debut category, in 2007 Fede will compete in the Super Stock 600 category on Ducati 749R. Paola Artioli, a rider discovered during the riding classes organized by Ducati (DRE – Ducati Riding Experience), will take Fede’s place in the Debut category.

Supercross motorcycle racing is a sport that was derived off of motocross. Motocross racing involved the outdoor racing of off-road motorcycles. These races come about on a combinational of natural turf and false turf. Many tracks additional small hills, jumps, sharp turns, and other obstacles. The aim of motocross was not simply to finish the course, but finish in first place. Regrettably, since motocross racing takes place outdoors, there are only certain locations where these races could be held. Many of these races happened in rural areas. The issue with this was that it limited to the number of fans. That was until the development of supercross racing.

Supercross racing is almost exactly like motocross racing, but it occurs indoors, in most cases. In place of creating a man-made track outside, a man-made track is designed indoors. These occurrences mostly occur in large football stadiums or other similar venues. Since the track is shorter, the races are often shorter, but the excitement is still the same. In point of fact, some might say that the excitement created by supercross motorcycle racing is even better than the excitement created by motocross racing. One of the reasons being that you can observe all of the action, since the supercross tracks are smaller and normally indoors.

Needless to say being able to see the action is a reason why supercross motorcycle racing is so popular, but the action is a reason all on its own. As prior to this mentioned, supercross racing tracks are usually false. Like motocross tracks, these tracks have a number of turns, jumps, small hills, and other exciting obstacles. A a variety of supercross races, particularly those at the professional level, haven’t only heard how to maneuver these obstacles, but they do it in style. In some situations, depending on the competition and their surroundings, a supercross motorcycle rider will not just re-evaluate a jump, but they’ll try and add in something unique. That could be a simple wave or a small trick; whatever it is, it increases the excitement to the race.

Supercross motorcycle racing is popular because the sport is able to reach a a few different people. As previously mentioned, motocross tracks are inclined to only be found in rural areas. This means that if someone from a large town or city wanted to observe a race, they would have to travel a pretty far distance. It is also essential to note, that largely, motocross races weren’t and are still not always broadcasted on television. This is not the situation with supercross motorbike racing. Not simply are a number of supercross motorcycle races shown on television, but they are also step in a traveling circuit. This signifies that instead of racing at an identical venue, supercross racing occurs at a a few different ones, all across the nation.
