La troisième place de Chaz Davies lors de la première des deux courses au Misano World Circuit "Marco Simoncelli" était le 800e podium de Ducati dans l’histoire du Championnat du Monde Superbike. Le constructeur de Bologne avait déjà un palmarès unique dans le championnat et avait été sur le podium dès la toute première course du WorldSBK, à Donington Park, en 1988, grâce à la seconde place de Marco Lucchinelli sur Ducati 851.
Avec 17 titres, 314 victoires, 167 pole positions et désormais 800 podiums, Ducati continue de s’inscrire dans l’histoire du championnat et a cette année fêté la toute première victoire de la Panigale, obtenue par Davies au MotorLand Aragón.
Ducati décroche en plus son 800e podium à domicile, sur le circuit de Misano, où la marque avait eu ses 600e et 700e podiums.
