Further Statement from North West 200 Ducati

Following the NW200 Ducati/JHP Racing statement issued yesterday (Thursday) and the subsequent MCRCB rule amendment last night with regard to the minimum weight limit of the 1200cc twin cylinder Ducati Superbikes, the team are pleased to confirm today (Friday) that the team will race at Donington Park this Bank Holiday weekend.

Alistair Kennedy, speaking on behalf of the main sponsors NW 200, said: "Having spoken to all the senior members of the team including John Hackett, Ken Foley and Michael Rutter, we now believe that the amended weight limit will allow us to participate in Monday's races. This is subject of course to no unforeseen technical problems over the weekend."
