In front of 50,000 Ducatisti from 28 different countries, NCR’s Valter Bartolini dominated the fourth round of the Ducati Desmo Challenge (DDC) on the 2007 NCR Millona Factory. In qualifying, Valter set a new lap record for 2 valves with a 1:42.804 and grabbed pole position. The qualifying time was the second fastest time for all classes second to Romanelli’s 1:42.082 with his Ducati 1098 Superstock.

The NCR Corse team had 8 Millona’s with Bartolini, Artigues and Selllone in the top 8 out of 33 riders. Tinti, Martini, Bendinelli, Casstelli and Giuliana Teverino completed the NCR Corse team of Millona enthusiasts.

During the race, Valter got into a early rhythm and set an incredible pace in the low 1:43’s and then set a new lap record again with a 1:42.700 finishing 32 seconds ahead of second place.

It was also a great race for Alessandro Sellone who fought back up to fifth place after a poor start and frenchman Charles Artigues finishing sixth and Fabrizio Tinti in tenth position thus giving NCR Corse 4 riders in the top 10!!

Overall it was a great weekend for NCR fans with an incredible victory, four riders in the top 10, eight Millona’s on the track and all finishing without any mechanical issues or crashes!!! That is the good life!!
Fantastic also the momentum spent with Cook Neilson, Phil Schilling and Paul Smart. To celebrate the Neilson-Schilling’s Daytona 1977 victory, Cook Neilson rode NEW BLUE during the WDW, it was really great!
