Ducati takes victory at Superstock opener

By Glenn LeSanto

Italian Lorenzo Lanzi took his Rox Racing Team Ducati 999S to a fine victory in difficult conditions at Valencia today.

Lanzi pushed his Ducati overhauled Spaniard Alex Martinez who had taken the hole-shot and an early lead on his Suzuki GSX-R1000.

Perhaps as an indication of how the two very different machines, or the riders, use their tyres, Martinez went backwards Lanzi was able to set a new Superstock lap record at 1’39.685 on the 12 of 13 laps.

Spaniard Enrique Rocamora Ros took a popular second place riding a GSX-R1000, just in front of Lorenzo Alfonsi on his Yamaha R1. Martinez slipped back down the field to finish sixth.
