COUNTDOWN STARTS FOR WDW 2007
The program of activities for fifth Ducati world gathering is almost complete.
WDW will feature the first laps of the incredible Ducati Desmosedici RR and the
air show of the 'Frecce Tricolori'.
Ducati is working hard on the fifth
edition of the world gathering of Ducatisti, which will take place from June 28
to July 1 at the new Misano World Circuit, and is now finalising a list of
activities designed to give all motorcycle lovers four absolutely unforgettable
days of WDW2007.
In a world premiere, official test rider Vittoriano
Guareschi will ride the long awaited and highly advanced L-4 cylinder
Desmosedici RR in front of thousands of Ducati fans around the Misano circuit,
the scene of the project announcement back in WDW2004.
The public will
be involved in a special series of events at the circuit, from demonstration
laps by official riders Loris Capirossi, Casey Stoner, Troy Bayliss and Lorenzo
Lanzi to the incredible display made by stuntmen and a dragster
show.
Speed, performance and passion will not only be on the track, but
also in the sky. For the first time at WDW, there will be a flight demonstration
by the 'Frecce Tricolori', the aerobatic team of the Italian air force. The
morning of Saturday, June 30 will see the skies over the circuit painted red,
white and green in a breathtaking show of aerobatics.
A Megascreen will be
available to help cheer on Ducati MotoGP Team riders Loris Capirossi and Casey
Stoner live during Saturday’s Assen Grand Prix in Holland before they fly direct
from the finish line to WDW at Misano ready for Sunday.
The circuit of
Misano will also host the fourth round of the Ducati Desmo Challenge, the race
series organised by Ducati. From Thursday to Saturday, WDW fans will be
entertained by practice, qualifying and the racing for the mono-marque
championship trophies.
Adding to the on-track entertainment, ex-GP rider
Randy Mamola will give some lucky fans the 'rides of their lives' aboard the
Ducati Desmosedici twin-seater and raise money for the Riders for Health
organisation.
Using a second track inside the Misano circuit, experienced
riders will be able to test ride the exciting new Ducati Hypermotard 1100 while
new riders can take part in a beginner’s riding course. Participants of the
course will have the most experienced and professional instructors to help them
ride in the safest of environments.
WDW is not only about track
activities, don’t miss the itineraries of Mototurismo that will visit the most
beautiful areas of Emilia Romagna with daily tours intended to help everyone
discover the beauty and the Appenine passes. And, thinking of everything, each
trip starts with courses in road safety.
For the most demanding of
motorcyclists, teachers from the ‘Ducati University’, made up of Ducati
technicians, designers and directors, will hold conferences on topics such as
design and mechanics and focus on the technical and tactical aspects of racing,
victory at world level, how to design the most beautiful bikes in the world and
advising riders on how to get the most out of the Misano
circuit.
Following the success of past WDWs, this year will see the
repeat of the Ducati Garage contest, a competition dedicated to all customised
Ducatis. The contest will be in two stages. The first part will be online where,
via Ducati.com, the ten best customised bikes will be selected. The second part
will take place at Misano where the final ten bikes will be inspected, judged
and awarded by a technical jury of Ducati personalities, Ducati Corse riders and
the WDW public. During the Ducati Garage contest, there will also be a series of
games designed to test the owners mechanical ability.
As if this wasn’t
enough, an area will also be set up to receive more than 2000 members of
official clubs from all over the world, presenting many activities, music and
exhibitions. As usual, the most bizarre and extravagant bikers will lead the
way!
The star every evening will be the main stage, where there will be
shows and concerts for everyone to let their hair down and enjoy the festival.
Saturday evening will present ‘an internationally famous artist’ in
concert.
