Ducati celebrates 848EVO win
Ducati were celebrating success at the weekend as Jason DiSalvo rode the Ducati 848EVO to victory in the Daytona 200 – the bike’s first professional road race.
DiSalvo, of the Latus Motors Racing privateer team, rode the 848EVO to victory in the 2011 season opener at Daytona International Speedway, ahead of Cory West on the Suzuki.
More than seven entries on the grid were on board the 848EVO entries, the most Ducati’s on the 200 grid in over ten years, although only DiSalvo made it into the top 19, with David Sadowski Jr completing the top 20.
“I really want to thank the Latus Ducati guys for all of their work in the pits. I’m so happy I can give Ducati their first Daytona 200 win in my first race on the bike, and the 848EVO’s first ever AMA race! It’s a magical thing and I’m excited to fight for the championship as the season goes on, “said DiSalvo.
“I am proud of what Jason and Team Latus Motors Racing have accomplished today. I wish them the best for the rest of the season and cannot wait to see our latest model post more victories!” said Cristiano Silei, CEO of Ducati North America.
The 848EVO’s next race will take place at California’s Infineon Raceway May 13-15th.
