DesmoSport Ducati

About Desmosport Ducati

The DesmoSport Ducati team was formed in 2016 by the 2001/2006/2008 World Superbike champion Troy Bayliss and former Australian Superbike racer, Ben Henry. The team, based out of Cube Performance Centre on the Gold Coast, competes in the Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK) against Australia’s, and some of the world’s, best Superbike racers. The rules of ASBK result in very few mechanical changes to the standard Ducati Panigale V4 R apart from a full titanium exhaust, advanced Ohlins suspension package and advanced electronic management via a Magneti Marelli ECU.

Ben Henry: "What a weekend! Being based in South-East Queensland, Queensland Raceway is a great weekend with so many of our local supporters and customers able to come see us race, and I really enjoy seeing all the familiar faces. I honestly didn't know if Troy (Herfoss) would even make it on-track for Friday practice after his flight from the US was cancelled, but in the end it was lucky he did as we uncovered a problem in the bikes ECU from his crash in Sydney. From there, we started again and although the rain in qualifying prevented us from seeing his full potential, the team made strong steps forward. For Broc, I think we missed an opportunity for some solid points this weekend. He's capable of much more than the results he had on the weekend, so we'll take some time to analyse the weekends results, before turning our attention to Morgan Park for round four."

Troy Herfoss: "What can I say... It's been such a whirlwind with my flight home from America delayed, I got home and was pretty much straight back on the bike in practice and here we are, weekend over already! I really want to thank everyone that's come out to the track this weekend, there's been so many supportive comments and interest in what I'm doing this year both here and in the US and I really appreciate it. I'm lucky enough to be surrounded by good people across two great teams right now and it's allowing me to really enjoy racing motorbikes. Battling for the podium against Max (Stauffer) was a real highlight for me across both races, after racing against and learning a lot from his dad when I started on a superbike, I was proud to legitimately race against him as he took his first double podium weekend too."

Brilliant race. Thanks for making my boy feel extra special. He has put his signed poster straight up on his bedroom wall. Now he is dreaming of following in your footsteps. Go Ducati.

Way to go Herf. It’s been awesome to follow your racing all these years. Now watching you racing the Baggers on youtube is just fantastic. Can’t wait to see what’s ahead for you mate.

Nice reflection and comments Troy.....also great to Max continuing his development. Jamie and Daniel had some awesome races and gave spectators memories for life. Really nice to have learnt from Jamie and now you being in that role with Josh and old man Glen.....well done on a great weekend.

Broc Pearson: "I had some high expectations this weekend and although my outright lap time didn't have me at the front through practice, we were working to a plan with strong race speed. I went into Sunday feeling good about the position we were in, so I'm disappointed to leave Queensland Raceway with a seventh and ninth place. A huge thank you to Ben and the entire DesmoSport Ducati, along with everyone that came out to support me over the weekend. We're the only team to feature on the podium at every round this year and I plan on keeping that streak alive when we get to Morgan Park."
