Some sources —Brianhe (talk) 00:14, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
 * GQ Italy had a bio piece on April 1, 2014, the occasion of the Ducati 916's 20th anniversary.
 * Sport Rider obituary has details on his association with Claudio Castiglioni and states the cause of death was (probably) lung cancer, like Castiglioni who was also a heavy smoker.
 * Motociclismo obituary (Italian)
 * Motorrad obituary (German)
 * Telegraph (UK) obituary: the 'Michelangelo of motorbike design’
 * A few hours after I add a quote from Kevin Ash's book to this article, lazy bloggers regurgitate it: "Apparently, one of the guidelines in Massimo Tamburini’s approach to designing a motorcycle was centered on practicality and usable performance. He used to um things us and say that 'the ideal one would be a 750 with the power of a 1000 and the weight of a 500.'" Is "apparently" a code word for, "I copied it from Wikipedia"? --Dennis Bratland (talk) 15:22, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
 * And another near copy-paste of the article. Sad. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 15:25, 7 April 2014 (UTC)


 * This article is now 5x the readable prose size it was prior to the April 6 expansion, so it's eligible for WP:DYK. I'll continue to stitch together the timeline to fill in the gaps in the narrative. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 05:23, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Possible DYK hook: ... that Massimo Tamburini, the "Michelangelo of motorbike design", originally went into business making heating ducts? -- Brianhe (talk) 20:48, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Nomination is up, at Template:Did you know nominations/Massimo Tamburini. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 15:45, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, this should be a good one. I completed the DYK "paperwork" at Template talk:Did you know (it wasn't yet listed). — Brianhe (talk) 20:23, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
