Ducati upbeat heading to Sepang

The Ducati team travels to Malaysia on the back of two unforgettable races, aiming to maintain the momentum all the way to the end of this historic season. In Japan last month Casey Stoner wrapped up the factory's first MotoGP riders' crown while Loris Capirossi won the race. In Australia last weekend Stoner won the race, his ninth victory of the season, while Capirossi finished second to help secure the constructors' title for Ducati and the team's title for the Borgo-Panigale-based squad. 

"We go to Malaysia in very good mood after two unforgettable races and we hope we can maintain our momentum at Sepang, where we've had some great results," said Ducati Moto GP project director Livio Suppo. "Two years ago we scored our first double podium result there and last year Loris fought for victory until the last lap, so in theory it's a good track for us. We hope to score another podium because so far this season we have had a Ducati rider on every podium apart from Jerez. We are also aiming to keep Casey's points average - at the moment he is averaging 20.125 points per race which is an incredible performance."
