The new World Superbike team run by Andrea Petricca is set to line up in the 2012 championship with a new name as Ducati Roma has now changed to the Red Devils Roma Team. The change was made because of the Rome manager’s fondness for a name that was important at the start of his career and his debut on the bike racing scene.
“Red Devils is a name that is familiar from the start of my career,” declared Petricca, “and it brings to mind riders like Aldeo Presciutti who raced and won under this name. We decided to change so as also to be able to carry the name of our city around the world in an important season that will see us take part in one of the most prestigious championships in the world.”
Rider Niccolò Canepa and the Red Devils Roma team will be at Vallelunga this weekend for a final two days of testing before leaving for Australia.
