I believe Gary is correct that Stoner is the only rider to have won on a Ducati riding on an 800. Troy won on the 990.

Stoner is the only one who has ever won on the bike. Now that he is on a competitive team, he appears virtually unstoppable. More to the point … Stoner is the only one who has ever won on the bike.

I personally think Marco will be a champ one day, after he matures a bit. He has huge talent and drive.
