Regarding the recent allegations attributed to
Gabriele Del Torchio - Ducati CEO and President, Ducati states that no
agreement has been reached with the riders Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden for
the future Moto GP season, although our interest in these riders remains.
We would like to say that the recent news
which has appeared on the US
website Cycle World and other websites has been misreported and must be
attributed to the many rumors circulating lately.
Whether and when an agreement is reached, official press releases will be issued.
