Chris Vermuelen, the only real threat to the factory Ducatis in 2004. After a gutsy podium performance at Monza, he was DQ'd for a faulty tipover sensor. |
Corse Ducati team manager Davide Tardozzi. Kicks or kisses, DT doles out whatever he feels a rider needs to get motivated. |
Giovanni Bussei --he brought the mad face of Druidic ritual to every WSBK race. Probably the kindest, most approachable rider in the paddock. |
Leon Haslam, Haga's teammate at Renegade Koji Ducati in 2004. Rocket Ron's son now races in British Superbike. |
|---|---|---|---|
The enigma that is Jean Michel Bayle, Magny Cours, 2004. |
Steve Martin, a superb rider who never seemed to catch a break. Pictured here riding for Foggy Petronas in 2005. Now works as a commentator for SBK. |
Federico Minoli, former Ducati CEO. Soaked with champagne at Monza, 2004. The boy is his son (?) |
Nori Haga, win or crash, Imola 2004. He crashed. |
