On the sporting front, Mr. Pierfrancesco Scalzo, Ducati Asia’s General Manager was glad to share that, “Being the second-last round of the championship, Andrea ‘Dovi’ Dovizioso comes to Malaysia with two podium experiences prior that he intends to repeat, while it will only be the second MotoGP for Andrea ‘The Maniac’ Iannone who is still high on the recent podium finish at Phillip Island. We are proud that NAZA World and Next Bike, as Ducati’s official distributor in Malaysia, fully supports our endeavour, and we look forward to dedicating a podium to them!”
