First ever Ducati victory in MotoAmerica

Today marked a historic time for Ducati as Lorenzo Zanetti took a stunning victory in race two of the MotoAmerica Superbike Championship at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, fending off the advances of Suzuki’s Bobby Fong and 2020 series champion, Yamaha’s Cameron Beaubier.

Zanetti on the Ducati Corse supplied Ducati Panigale V4 R started race one with a debut podium in third place and took the victory in race two. Zanetti concluded race three with another third place, totaling three podiums and showing the incredible performance of the Ducati Panigale V4 R against America’s fastest superbikes.
 

In race one, Ducati rider Kyle Wyman encountered a fierce highside crash causing him unable to restart in a red flagged. However, Wyman showed the grit he is renowned for in races two and three, ending the final race with his fastest ever lap at Indy as the team regroups for the series finale at Laguna Seca in two weeks’ time.
 

Lorenzo Zanetti says: 
“In the end, it was an amazing weekend for me with three podiums and a victory, it’s unbelievable,” Zanetti beamed after race three. “I’m really happy, and after this morning I wanted to make another victory! I had a bad feeling on the back tire, I try to understand why for a few laps, but it doesn’t work. So, I decided to push a bit more on the front tire, but I didn’t have the feeling and I had to go straight (Zanetti ran off track but rejoined)."
 

“I tried then to come back and fight with Cameron (Beaubier), but I didn’t have the performance to beat him and finish in second place. But anyway, it was a great day. Thanks to Ducati and MotoAmerica and congratulations to Cameron for the championship win and Bobby Fong for the exciting performance today.”
