Ducati Could Dominate the Isle of Man TT, Breaking 30-Year Losing Streak

Ducati has dominated MotoGP for so long that it might as well be called 'DucatiGP'. The Bolognian brand has won the last six Constructors' Championships consecutively, and the last four in World Superbike (WSBK). We'll have to wait and see how the Desmo450 MX does next year in AMA SX and MX, but early reports are that it's a rocket.

And now we could see the brand dominate the most legendary race ever: The Isle of Man TT (IoM TT).

Michael Dunlop is unquestionably the greatest rider to ever tackle the mountain course. The 33-time TT winner added four trophies to his tally this year, taking both the Supersport races on the Ducati Panigale V2 and both Supertwin races. That put a Ducati at the top of a TT podium for the first time in 30 years. But the main race, the Superbike class, remained out of reach as Dunlop finished second in both races aboard a PBM Ducati V4R.
