Rome-born Michel Fabrizio, aged 23, has joined Team Ducati Xerox on a one-year contract and his first race with the team will be the opening round of the 2008 World Championship.
Michel began racing seriously in 1999 at the age of 15, when he took part in the Honda Trophy events and was almost immediately on the podium after just two races. The next couple of years saw Michel emerge with a series of wins and titles in the Coppa Italia (2000) and Challenge Aprilia, Supercampione and Sport Production (2001).In 2002 he arrived on the world scene when he was given a ride on a Gilera in the 125 GP championship but results were disappointing. Alstare Racing then offered Fabrizio the chance to race in the European Superstock category and the Roman repaid the faith shown in him by winning the title in 2003 at the age of 19.
In 2004 Michel was again back in the World Road-Racing Championships, but this time on the WCM machine in MotoGP. The next year Fabrizio scored a few good results in World Supersport with a Team Megabike Honda and this was followed in 2006 by a move up to World Superbike with a Honda for the DFX Corse team, where he remained for the 2007 season. Michel's best results in World Superbike have been a second and a third at Brno in 2006, a third at Assen that same year and another third place at Brno in 2007.
