McEnery Wins, Breaks Track Record; Barrett Long Takes First American Win On Ducati 1098S At Moroso Motorsports Park News Article // RoadracingWorld.com

The Leon Backus Memorial event was also a record setter for the Ducati 1098 and pilot Barrett Long. The brand new machine made its debut as a race bike at Daytona two weeks ago, a mere three weeks after being unveiled in the United States. Long rode the bike to its first victory in America (if not the world) during the Unlimited Supersport race. He later won the SuperTwins and Heavyweight Superbike events with the DucatiMiami/Desmomaniacs sponsored machine.
