From a press release:

This Press release is to inform you about the new AMA Pro Thunder Team NICOLODI RACING based out of North Hollywood, CA.

For the Fontana Event the new crew will send their 2001 Ducati 748 RS in the Superbike race and try to do well and get some track time for Czech republic racer and AMA Pro Vincent Haskovec. Unfortunately the bike arrived just yesterday.

The technical crew is led by Italian Stefano Louise who has years of experience working for the Aprilia Factory Team in GP and has worked for greats like Max Biaggi etc. He is co-owner of a beautiful independent Italian motorcycle shop for DUCATI, Aprilia and MV Agusta: NICOLODI RACING.

The Team is also backed by co-owner and Racing enthsiast Sergio Luevano.

“Italio-German” European Superbiker and former GP team advisor Dino Bez is another link to becoming a strong new team in AMA Pro Racing, in Superbike as well as in Pro Thunder.

The team has planned to enter more Superbike events this season. Please come and see the new team this weekend at Fontana.
