    Dovizioso and Lorenzo, at the Wheel of the CUPRA TCR

    Racecar drivers for a day Dovizioso and Lorenzo, at the wheel of the CUPRA TCR Andrea Dovizioso and Jorge Lorenzo, MotoGP riders for Ducati Corse and CUPRA ambassadors, take the brand’s competition car for a spin Both agree on emphasising the agility, power and sequential gearbox of the CUPRA TCR Pepe Oriola and Jordi Gené, racers and brand ambassadors, ride shotgun with them in this experience at the Castellolí track Martorell, 05-07-2018.– We’re used to seeing them racing on their motorcycles and taking corners with their knee grazing the asphalt. Whether it’s on two or four wheels, Ducati Corse MotoGP racers and CUPRA ambassadors Andrea Dovizioso and Jorge Lorenzo are motoring enthusiasts and didn’t hesitate in exchanging vehicles for a day. The challenge: take the CUPRA TCR for a drive following the instructions of CUPRA team racer Pepe Oriola and brand ambassador Jordi Gené. - From handlebars to steering wheel: “You want the same thing whether you’re driving a car or riding a motorcycle – when you’re on the track you want to be the fastest. The difference is that the car makes you feel safer; it gives you more stability”, says Andrea Dovizioso as he walks over to the CUPRA TCR on the track of the Castellolí circuit. Jorge Lorenzo adds: “When riders make the switch to four wheels it doesn’t take us long to gather pace and pick up speed”. With the same enthusiasm, they both put on their helmet and start the engine to check the engine response – in just 5.2 seconds the CUPRA TCR reaches 100 km/h.
  • Ducati Panigale V4

    Ducati Panigale V4

    DUCATI PANIGALE V4 The 2020 version of the Panigale V4 boosts performance even further and takes track riding to the next level for amateurs and pros alike. A series of refinements make for an easier, more user-friendly, less fatiguing ride while simultaneously making the bike faster not just on individual laps but over entire timed sessions. Ducati and Ducati Corse engineers have crunched the feedback/data numbers from customers all over the world and Superbike World Championship events. Their analysis has led to a series of aerodynamic, chassis, electronic control and Ride by Wire mapping changes: designed to increase stability and turn-in speed, these changes make it easier to close corners and ensure riders enjoy more confident throttle control. The Panigale V4 is now equipped with content taken from the V4 R. For example, the aerodynamic package provides enhanced airflow protection and improves overall vehicle stability, enhancing confidence. The Front Frame, instead, modifies stiffness to give better front-end 'feel' at extreme lean angles. What's more, the bike includes DTC and DQS up/down EVO 2 strategies. Thanks to a new 'predictive' control strategy, Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO 2 significantly improves out-of-the-corner power control; Ducati Quick Shift up/down (DQS) EVO 2, instead, shortens up-shift times, allowing sportier high-rev gear shifts (over 10,000 rpm) and boosting shift stability during aggressive acceleration and cornering. To hone bike balance throughout the ride, changes to the suspension set-up have focused on redefining suspension stiffness, center of gravity height and chain force angle.

    Riello UPS and Ducati Corse Celebrates 15 Years of Partnership

    Press info Riello UPS and Ducati Corse celebrates 15 years of partnership The Veronese company and the Borgo Panigale team cross the milestone of 15 years of collaboration after renewing their sponsorship agreement, with a renewed motivation to achieve ambitious new goals. Legnago, 12 February 2021. Riello UPS, a brand of the Riello Elettronica group, a world player in the production of static uninterruptible power supplies, photovoltaic inverters and Energy Storage systems, announces the renewal of its sponsorship of the Ducati Lenovo Team for the upcoming MotoGP World Championship. The partnership between the two Italian companies, synonymous with excellence and technology at the highest level, thus turns 15 and confirms Riello UPS's desire to consolidate its success at an international level. This year, Riello UPS will have great visibility in MotoGP guaranteed by the presence of its brand on the front fairing and tail of the Desmosedici GP of Francesco Bagnaia and Jack Miller, as well as on the riders' suits and team clothing. The renewal of the agreement with Ducati Corse is a clear and direct message of Riello UPS's great solidity and ability to adapt even after a particularly difficult year like the past one, which saw the Covid-19 emergency put a strain on global markets. Thanks to the search for ever higher technological standards, the added value of Made in Italy production and the great culture of teamwork, Riello UPS continues to pursue increasingly ambitious goals and with ever-growing motivation. "With Ducati Corse for 15 years we have continuously raised the challenge by setting ourselves increasingly ambitious goals and pursuing them with strategy, attention to detail and teamwork - declared Fabio Passuello, Riello UPS General Manager - Such a philosophy is essential to overcome periods of great global crisis like we are experiencing, from which we can only emerge as winners through strategies aimed at the future and focusing on technological research of excellence.
