Ducati 750 F1 factory racing rider Marco Lucchinelli Daytona 1986 world champion

Description

A superb and rare photo of the famous
Ducati 750 F1 factory racing bike
and
1981 500cc World Champion
Marco Lucchinelli
, in the paddock of the
1986
Daytona
races.
The road going Ducati 750 F1 was, due to the
regulations of the F1 racing class, very similar to the F1 factory racer that
Lucchinelli is seen sitting on.
Marco
Lucchinelli
,
the
500cc World Champion
of
1981
, began his road
racing career in 1975 on a Laverda SFC in the European long distance racing
scene. His riding style impressed the Yamaha factory enough to earn him a sponsored
bike in the Italian National Championship as well as a ride in the 1975 Nations
Grand Prix in the 350 class. In 1976 he rode a Suzuki in the 500cc World
Championship earning fourth place in the championship with 2 second place
finishes along with a third and a fourth place. He earned the nickname Crazy
Horse for his wild riding style that attracted many fans. This fearless riding
style also meant that he crashed quite often. In the 1977 season, he would drop
to 11th place in the 500 World Championship on a Yamaha. Lucchinelli returned
to Suzuki for the 1978 season and in 1980, he won his first 500cc Grand Prix at
the West German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring. He would finish the season in
third place behind Kenny Roberts and Randy Mamola. He had his best year in
1981
when he took 5 victories aboard the Roberto Gallina backed Suzuki, battling
Randy Mamola to the final race of the season before
winning the 500cc
World Championship
.
