Carlin Dunne (4:09.550) has topped the time sheets during day 1 of qualifying at the 2019 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado aboard the Spider Grips Ducati Streetfighter V4 prototype. He is competing in the Exhibition Powersport class and finished nearly six seconds ahead of his next closest competitor, Cycle News Road Test Editor Rennie Scaysbrook (4:15.006) aboard the Aprilia Tuono V4 in the Heavyweight class. The third fastest time goes to Codie Vahsholtz (4:15.775) on the Spider Grips Ducati Multistrada 1260.
Day 1 focuses on the lower half of the course, with the upper layout on the schedule for day 2. This is an excellent start for Ducati, which is also hosting its first annual “All Roads Lead to Pikes Peak” customer rally during the 97th running of the famous hill climb.
