Moto GP NewsThe Ducati Marlboro Team return home this weekend looking to put on a good show for the local crowd at Misano and make up for a disappointing race last year, which Casey Stoner missed through illness whilst Nicky Hayden was taken out by another rider in the first turn. Both riders have shown their pace around the Italian circuit previously, however, Casey Stoner having won in 2007 and leading the 2008 race before crashing, and Nicky Hayden finding a good set-up and pace for his Ducati in practice last year.As always the Ducatisti will be out in force to support them from the Ducati grandstand, which is located in the “Variante Parco”, the first turn after the start-finish straight.“Indy was obviously a big disappointment for us but we’re looking ahead,” Stoner said.”I am happy to be going to one of Ducati’s home circuits and a place where we have gone fast in the past. It is the third of the races I missed in 2009 so we’ll see what we can do this weekend. We’ll have to work hard on the front again because we don’t want to take a backward step on the progress we’ve made recently. The whole team is working really hard, the guys are giving everything like always so hopefully we can have a good result to celebrate on Sunday.”After his home race Hayden is now looking forward to his team’s home race.“We have travelled straight from Indianapolis to Italy so it feels like a short week! We had a really good pace in race trim during practice and warm-up at Misano last year but I got hit from behind in the race on the Sunday. It is always special to race a Ducati in Italy and I can’t wait for it. Last year went like I said and in 2008 I didn’t race because of a foot injury so we’ll try to make up for it on Sunday, when I’m sure we’ll have the support of a lot of fans and a lot of people from Ducati,” Hayden concluded.Main Photo: Casey StonerCredit: Ducati Motocross Seymour Northern Regions Motocross Postponed 1st Sep, 2010 Supermotard Gozzini delights Italian fans with first GP victory and Red Plate in Sicily 1st Sep, 2010 Adventure BMW to Support GS Snowy Adventure Tour 1st Sep, 2010 Motocross Jarryd McNeil to race final AMA National Motocross 1st Sep, 2010…
