Two-seater passenger 'touches tarmac'.

Italian comic Fabrizio Fountain had his first-ever ride on a motorcycle on Saturday at Mugello - behind former GP winner Randy Mamola on the Ducati Desmosedici two-seater!

"We were leaning so far in the corners that I reached out and touched the tarmac with my hand," said the brave comedian. "The two laps were incredibly physical demanding, above all for the arms. I have never done anything like this before so now I'm in pieces, but I am happy, it was an incredible experience! The most impressive things were the corners and the acceleration. I was a bit scared on the first lap, so I didn't work so well with Randy, but the second lap was better, I enjoyed it more."

Fountain accepted the ride at the invitation of Ducati's MotoGP star Loris Capirossi.
