Quiz Round

[Pomp1]

Ok, considering last week round went quite well, I've thought this can be made into kind of a regular feature, so this week round is a WSB Trivia.
Post answers and for this round, the prize is a good 'un! Half a tube of good quality silicone sealant, clear (none of that nasty black stuff!!!!).

1) Our beloved Ducati isn't fetching all that well in 2010 but we had better times! Which one has been Ducati most succesful season in Superbike? (extra point if you can tell me how many races they won at the end of the season)

2) One of the age-old argument has been if a WSB rider can win in MotoGP. Only three Australians and one Japanese have won a race in WSB and then went on to win in MotoGp/500 as well.
Names please! (extra points if you can tell me the races they've won)

3) The Very Difficult One: Brits have always had a good knack at the old WSB, but, for that all-important extra point, who was the first Englishman to win a WSB race? (extra point for year and bike maker)

Be honest, don't google it and the first one to get the answer right gets the point:)!
Quiz ends Sunday night.

Good efforts there guys but a lots of point still to go, according to my records. I won't say who got right or wrong answers.
And,in a final twist, extra points will be awarded to interesting fact INHERENT TO THE ROUND QUESTIONS (kind of QI style).
Well done to you, but still 14 points available..
