Ducati reportedly will provide Neil Hodgson and Ben Bostrom with 2006 WSB-spec 999 superbikes to contest the AMA Superbike championship next year. Traditionally, Ducati has provided regional Superbike teams (such as the AMA or British Superbike teams) with year-old designs . . . saving the latest technology for the factory WSB team. Ducati thinks Hodgson and Bostrom will need the best v-twin technology available to take the AMA Superbike crown away from Suzuki’s Mat Mladin.
