In 1998, the Team decided to abandon the Moto GP world and move to the World Championship reserved to the derived from the series, the Superbike. In 2001 two Italian riders, Marco Borciani and Mauro Sanchini, alongside Lucio Pedercini who triumphs in the Italian Superbike Championship and collects good results even in the World.
In 2002, the Team confirmed Lucio Pedercini and Marco Borciani, but repalced Sanchini with the coming of Foti.
Having now the competitive Ducati 998R Testastretta, former world champions in 2001, at the end of this season the Team is placed in the top ten ranking reserved for the teams. The year 2003 saw the entry of Gianluca Nannelli, national Supersport champion, inside the Team, but a serious injury in the third round puts him out from the season, leaving everything on the shoulders of Lucio Pedercini, who during this season gets her best finish in his career.
