Xerox Ducati's Michel Fabrizio will get a chance to showcase his talents on the MotoGP stage this weekend at Brno as he steps into the Pramac Ducati team in place of Mika Kallio who is himself standing in for Casey Stoner.

The World Superbike title contender will ride alongside former WSB test rider Nico Canepa but isn't expecting to set the world alight as he hasn't ridden the Desmosedici GP9.

"I want to thank Ducati and Pramac for this gift! Brno is my favorite track and therefore the right place to come back riding a MotoGP 800 after the last time at Sachsenring 2007," said Fabrizio.

"I know that I can't expect a lot because the GP9 is much different compare to my 1198 F09. The priority is to have some fun and enjoy a different weekend for me! All the best to Casey whishing him to be back in top form as soon as possible!"
