Ducati and Italian rider Luca Salvadori brought a stock Panigale V4S, equipped only with a Ducati Performance racing exhaust system, Pirelli slick tires and racing brake pads to victory in the Cremona round of the MotoEstate Trophy, one of the best known amateur trophy in Italy.
During the weekend of 29-30 May Salvadori also conquered pole position, setting the new record of the Cremona circuit (1’31.945) and the best lap in the race, closing a perfect weekend.
Salvadori raced with the ABS (the Panigale V4 is the only bike in the world to have a "Cornering Only Front Racing" setup of the ABS) and electronic suspension, proving that it is possible to be competitive in this type of competition with a production bike.
The “Open Class” of the Trophy was chosen to compete against very elaborate bikes, in fact Luca's main opponent, Fabrizio Perotti a really popoular and fast Italian rider, raced on a full Superbike Spec Aprilia RSV4, demonstrating the high level of competitiveness of the Ducati Panigale V4S road bike.
