IN THE WIND P40 CIANCIARULO SIDELINED AGAIN A dam Cianciarulo suffered yet another setback in his young pro- racing career. The Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki Team rider was injured while making a comeback from another injury at the Geneva Supercross, December 6. Two years ago, Cianciarulo's pro debut was put on hold after he came down with an illness, and this year he missed much of the AMA Monster Energy Supercross Series and all of the outdoor motocross series with a shoulder injury. In Geneva, in his first race back, he fell and injured his shoulder again. The injury required surgery and his team reports that he'll sit out the entire 2015 Supercross Series. "I'm very frustrated, not just for me but for my sponsors and all of my supporters," the 17-year-old Cianciarulo said. "I've been fortunate and blessed enough to have a very healthy career up until this past year. My off-season training has been going well and everything was coming together nicely to have a good Supercross season. This injury sets me back, so now I am turning my focus to getting healthy and preparing for motocross starting in May. As hard as this is, I'm in good spirits know- ing I have such a great group of people behind me " Adam Cianciarulo will sit out the 2015 Supercross season with an injury. DUCATI REACHES MILESTONE T he millionth Ducati to come off the production line at the historic Borgo Panigale factory in Bologna, Italy, has been handed over to one lucky client directly by Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati Motor Holding. The event took place on De- cember 12 at the Audi City Lab— an exclusive temporary show- room set up for the Christmas period in Via Montenapoleone in the center of Milan. The client, Ernesto Passoni, a 47-year-old from Cinisello Balsamo near Mi- lan, has always been a Ducatista and now, awaiting delivery of the bike he ordered from a dealer, he was told that his would be the mil- lionth Ducati to be produced. He was rewarded with the added val- ue of a special customization and a presentation cere- mony in the presence of Audi and Ducati top management. The Monster 1200 S, customized with a laser serigraph on the top handle- bar bracket showing the chronological number reached by production at Borgo Panigale, was per- sonally presented to Mr. Passoni by Clau- dio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati Motor Hold- ing. Professor Rupert Stadler (Audi Group CEO) and Luca de Meo (Member of the Board for Marketing and Sales, Audi AG) were also present.
