Marco enjoyed a positive but ultimately unfortunate final race with Ducati, the Italian rider coming through from the very back of the grid to lap in tenth place, only to run off track two laps from the end – returning to finish the race in sixteenth.

MARCO (Ducati Marlboro Team) 16th

“Despite everything that was a fun race because I felt quite comfortable on the bike and I was able to attack and pass a whole bunch of riders. Starting from so back was a handicap and I lost touch with the fast group that Lorenzo was in. But I lapped well with a decent pace. Unfortunately near the end of the race I hit neutral instead of first gear and ran wide. I’m disappointed because it would have been nice for me and the team to finish well. At least it was a dignified race.”

FILIPPO PREZIOSI (Technical Director Ducati Corse)

“I’m pleased for Marco because even though he didn’t got the result in the end, he has fought hard, made a lot of passes and rode as he knows he can in his final race with us.”

    That was a positive way to end the season, although the result in the end doesn’t seem that way. It was great to see you battling with the other guys and work your way into the top 10.
    Also congratulations with your first positive test with the Kawasaki, where you immediatly improved your times from sunday. It’s obviously that this bike suits your riding style better.
    You’ll be there again next season, fighting at the front of the pack!!
