Ducati identify engine failure cause

The Ducati team have identified the cause of Casey Stoner's engine failure during Sunday's French Grand Prix at Le Mans.

The Australian's power unit failed when he was fighting for second place, although he still managed to return to the pits and use his second bike to complete the race in last position.

Ducati said on Tuesday the faulty component had been identified at their factory, although no furthers details were provided.

The team decided to end today's test at Le Mans early in order to avoid further damage to other engines.
