Wrooom Tuesday Round Up - Day 1 Of Ducati's Long Road To Recovery

The first step on a long road. That's how you might characterize the second day of Ducati's preseason launch event at Madonna di Campiglio in Italy. Especially when seen from a distance, the result of only a select group of journalists being invited to attend the launch, and our names not being among them.

It may be the first step, but there is no doubt that it is a big one. The many new faces at Wrooom are testament enough to that. The numerous changes within Ducati Corse and especially the Ducati MotoGP team have been well documented, but at Wrooom, the scale of the change is made visible. The overall impression is of a team which is slightly less Italian, but also one of vast experience. New Ducati Corse boss Bernhard Gobmeier may not be much older than Filippo Preziosi, the man he replaces, but the grizzled veteran Paolo Ciabatti, taking the place of a more youthful Alessandro Cicognani, highlights the seriousness with which Ducati, under their new owners Audi are taking the whole affair.
