WSB Donington 2008

Giancarlo was at the forefront of the autograph queue
Took time out to meet your webmaster...
...and was even happy to sign Steve's stump.
Of course, the main attraction was the WSB boys, Troy Bayliss and Michel Fabrizio...
...and whilst the queue for Troy was lengthy, Michel had time to grin for the camera.
There was a an opportunity for individual photos, and Troy got to cuddle Elizabeth Good...
...while Michel got Spaggy!
Kerry Rumbelow got a squeeze from Troy...
...and Michel wound up with Scorch. Methinks there is some unfairness in the distribution of the glamour between the riders!
Just to even things up a bit, both got ambushed by Steve Smith, now well on his way to full Terminator mode following the removal of a leg that would not bend after being t-boned by a car. Fortunately, he takes it all in his (limpy) stride.
Troy was gobsmacked at the presentation by Martyn of an excellent painting of him on the old 999.
And after dinner, at the end of it all, we all wondered just how Davide Tardozzi manages to get such delightful bodyguards!
The DOC Crew line up for a group photo at the end of the night. Much enjoyed by all, and thanks from us to Ducati UK and the Xerox Ducati WSB team for inviting us along.
