2010 Pikes Peak results

Ducati Multistrada 1200 finishes first in class
By Motorcycle.Com Staff, Jun. 30, 2010
Greg Tracy and the Ducati Multistrada 1200 took first place in its class at the 2010 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.

Tracy completed the hill climb in 11:46.55, the only bike in the 1205cc class to finish under 12 minutes. Tracys time was also second best among all motorcycles in any class. Second place in the class went to Walker Pew who rode a 2008 Buell XBSTT. Alexander Smith, son of AMA Hall of Famer Malcolm Smith, also also rode the Ducati Multistrada 1200, finishing third with a time of 12:53.381.

The Spider Grips Falkner-Livingston Multistrada was an amazing ride. Everyone did an awesome job and that motorcycle is crazy fast- it hit 137mph at one point! The bike worked great on the dirt and the asphalt, says Tracy. When I was growing up, and all these factory teams would win races, I was sure they had these $100,000 engines and that was why they went so fast. I was wrong. This is my first year on a factory motorcycle and Ill tell you that bike was box-stock. It had some carbon, and few tweaks and that was it.
