The Ducati Marlboro team will be participating at the grand prix at Circuit de Catalunya situated in Montmelò, an industrial suburb north of Barcelona scheduled on Jun 3 2011. The Circuito de Catalunya opened in 1992 and was then added to the Grand Prix. The challenging and fast track has 1,047 meter (1,145 yard) main straightaway on which the bikes reach 330 kilometers per hour (205 mph). It includes very hard braking points, such as the approaches to the first turn and to “Caixa” at the end of the back straight, where the rear tyre often leaves the ground. It also features a series of long, constant-radius corners where the riders stay leaned over for a long time.
Ducati Marlboro Team including Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden riders enjoyed the Catalan Grand Prix, citing both the track’s layout and the large crowds that always heat up the Spanish races. Valentino Rossi, who didn’t take part in the 2010 round due to an injury, has scored wins at the track in every class, collecting an impressive nine victories and a further four podiums. Nicky Hayden also made the podium in 2006, on his way to the MotoGP title.
