Ducati's Domenicali appointed MSMA Chairman

The MSMA has elected Claudio Domenicali (CEO of Ducati) as its new Chairman for the next two years, during a General Meeting at Jerez during the Spanish GP weekend.

“It is an honour to accept this role, both in person and in my capacity as CEO of Ducati Motor Holding”, commented Domenicali on thanking the assembly for the nomination.

“Ducati now holds this position for the first time in twenty-seven years of MSMA activity.

"In facing up to this task, we are fully committed to making an important contribution to the further growth and professionalism of the sporting activities that see the participation of the world’s most important motorcycle manufacturers.”

The MSMA (Motorcycle Sports Manufacturers’ Association), formerly known as GPMA, was established in 1992 to represent the interests of the manufacturers involved in racing during the meetings with the FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme), the various promoters and the teams’ associations.

Domenicali succeeds Mr. Katsuhide Moriyama (Honda Motor Corporation), the previous MSMA Chairman.
