Ducati Corse sources confirmed to SuperBikePlanet today that the current rumor in the industry—that Lorenzo 'Fonzi' Lanzi lapped faster than Eric Bostrom at the recent test at Virginia International Raceway—is true.

It was Lanzi's first ride at the track—and his first time in America—and the Corse Supersport rider lapped slightly faster than Eric Bostrom after a two-day test plagued by rain.

Bostrom's fast lap was a 1:26.7 while Lanzi posted a 1:26.4.

With these results in hand, Corse's informal plan is to now have Lanzi join Bostrom at the VIR race on an equal Ducati Superbike on Michelin tires.

Lanzi will not be racing at Road Atlanta as there is a date conflict. The World Supersport series is in action at Assen on the Atlanta weekend.
