Motorcycle racers show the formula one boys how its done
Ducati UK
The 20th edition of the Wrooom Press Ski Meeting concluded today with two spectacular races on the frozen lake in Madonna di Campiglio.
The first, in Panda 4x4 cars, was won by Felipe Massa and the Brazilian was joined on the podium by Casey Stoner and Nicky Hayden, with Fernando Alonso crossing the line fourth ahead of Giancarlo Fisichella.
The second was a go-kart race dominated from start to finish by Hayden, who shared the podium champagne with Massa and Stoner, with Alonso unable to make the finish after crashing into the protective barriers.
The exhibition races were enjoyed by a huge crowd, who took the opportunity to show their support for the MotoGP and F1 stars as they went head-to-head in their machines, resplendent in the colours of each individual driver.
With the Wrooom event coming to a close, the Ducati Marlboro Team's next appointment is a three-day test in preparation for the new season from 3-5 February in Malaysia.
