If you
already have some riding experience but want to improve your skills, the
Intermediate Course will take you to the next level.
The course
covers common road situations and focuses on how to tackle them using specific
riding techniques. The exercises take place in a controlled and organized
environment in the paddock, where road-based emergency situations are
simulated.
These
drills were specifically designed to teach you how to maintain better control
of your bike in different conditions, and how to avoid potentially dangerous,
everyday situations. Under the guidance of our experts you'll start noticing
improvements immediately.
The day
culminates in a double track session that will introduce you to riding
controlled and fluid track lines. You'll leave this course a safer and more
confident rider.
The
Intermediate Course uses the
Monster 1100EVO, and new model for the DRE,
Multistrada 1200 and
Hypermotard 796.
The
intermediate course is divided into groups of six (up to a maximum of 42
riders), with each group led by an expert instructor. Some bikes are used in
rotation.
The
intermediate course consists of alternating practice and theory sessions. The
on-bike practice features a series of 7 exercises performed in the paddock:
braking, braking with an obstacle, going around a hairpin bend, double
cornering, cornering in sequence, constant radius cornering and variable radius
cornering. Great news for this year, in partnership with Bosch, participants will be trained to use at best the ABS on Monster and Multistrada.
After
completing the paddock exercises, the afternoon programme starts with a
technical briefing followed by two 20-minute track sessions. You'll enter the
track accompanied by your instructor, who will safely guide the group around.
You will have the track to yourself - no riders from other courses will be on
the track during your session.
The
required gear includes leathers, gloves, boots and a full-face helmet. If you
can't provide any of these items, you can hire them when you purchase a course
online at www.ducati.com (see the 'Clothing requirements' section for complete
details on the required gear).
You must
have a motorcycle licence (without engine displacement restrictions) to participate
in the intermediate course.
