Re: E-boz'z ride

Think they will give E-boz an F03 bike or will he get a Ducati 999 RS? Some riders have done well even without the factory machines but Ducati might be spreading the money thin if they have 4 moto GP bikes, all the World Super Duck bikes and then AMA as well. It would be nice to see him get a factory ride though.

Did I miss something? Was there an anouncement?

Re: E-boz'z ride

I believe it will be the 999. Ducati America has expressed their intent on putting forth a bigger effort in AMA. As for Ducati spreading itself thin, I do not think that will be a problem as there is only one factory team in each series and the sponsors take up the majority of the financial responsibilty.

Re: E-boz'z ride

I thought the RS is available for purchase by privateers but the F (factory) models were not? So if he was riding an RS that would make it not a factory ride?

Re: E-boz'z ride

Unless something happens, I'd say a 999RS also. The F03 will practically be the 2004 999RS. The F04 will be for laconi and toseland in WSBK.

Though, if Ducati does get serious about Eboz, he could easily be a F04 rider. But my $$ is on a 999RS.

Taken from AMASuperbike.com

Although there is no official word at this stage, it seems that all indicators point to Eric Bostrom team up with Ducati for 2004.

Ducati had a decent year in the US this season, but there is no way to look at a possible Bostrom and Ducati pairing without thinking he will have a huge impact on the championship. Could Bostrom deliver Ducati both the Daytona 200 win and AMA Superbike championship they crave?


As long as he whoops the @ss of that Aussie bast@rd.

Note: No offence ment toward Aussies
