Ducati challenge showpiece may intrigue bike insurance customers

The first round of the Ducati 848 Challenge recently took place at Silverstone, where Darren Fry was victorious in both races.

He started from pole position and maintained his lead over his competitors to storm home in first place.

Fry's Buildbase teammate Leon Morris came second in both contests, while Mark Cheetham was third in each event.

Motorcycle insurance seekers might want to check out the riders in action at the next round in Assen in May.

A number of exciting twists and turns - not to mention unfortunate collisions - meant the race was a pulsating contest from start to finish.

With the red flag coming out to signal for the riders to stop in their tracks, it emerged that second placed qualifier Ben Garner had to end his participation with concussion.

Elsewhere, the Monster 796 was recently introduced by Ducati, which claims it has a high standard of user-friendliness.
