Hi, fancy me back on a Ducati do you?

World Superbike sources are linking the vacant Austin Ducati ride to American Ben Bostrom for 2006, which, if true, means the very popular former US Superbike champion will not be returning to World Superbike but will instead race in America in 2006.

Neither the Ducati Corse nor Ben Bostrom camps will confirm or deny that Bostrom will sign for the spot (recently vacated by his brother) in the US.
