Ducati celebrates TT anniversary

Italian maker Ducati will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its involvement in the TT races at this year's event.

To mark the occasion bikes from the Ducati Museum in Bologna will be on display during race week.

Included will be the first bike raced around the mountain course and Mike Hailwood's 1978 machine on the 30th anniversary of his comeback.

Among the more modern bikes on show will be Casey Stoner's 2007 MotoGP championship-winning bike.

A special Ducati parade lap will take place ahead of the Senior TT with plenty of stars set to ride including Carl Fogarty, Sammy Miller, Trevor Nation, Jamie Whitham and Michael Rutter.
