Sooooo........where's da link, Bob?!?

I'm fairly sure that what I would like to think is a reasonable offer and what THEY deem to be a reasonably acceptable offer would be like trying to compare a pub tart with a nasty rash to one of H.Hefners Playboy Bunny centrefold models!?!

Oh well......dreams are still free.....ain't they?!?

ducati,s new bike must be going to have a honda or yamaha motor in it so they can keep up

[Shifu]

They will not sell. The local Ducati shop here in Adelaide advertise these tractors like there is no tomorrow. Obviously business is not well
It is good to see how smart comment by Valentino that Casey wasn't pushing it hard enough last year come to bite his arse

Without taking anything from casey one has to remember that he went on a bike that was winning races already and most importantly its been developed by Pedrosa.........Rossi on the other hand went to a bike which needs a new chassis and still needs to come together.Next year is where it really gets interesting as its blank canvas for all with the new 1000cc bikes.In regards to Rossi I would not write him off due to a bad season as you're still talking about one of the best GP riders the planet has ever seen.It will be a long time before we can see a rider achieving what Rossi did up to now with his riding,bike development,advertising, brand name,artistic merchandising and the list goes on.
2012 will be a cracker of a year for racing IMO!!!

no doubt rossi is probably the finest rider the world has ever seen but he has learnt one thing. dont diss another mans bike before you have riden it to see how it handles wasn,t it stoner who told rossi to watch the front end on the duke he knows what he was talking about he lost the front often enough. Rossi is great but personally i think he should have retired when he left yamaha better to go out on top than to go out as an also ran. the 1000cc is going to be good but why did they go away from the 1000 after the 500s.

It was Jeremy Burgess who once said; quote:" In MotoGP the rider is 80% of the equation and the bike is only worth 20%".

Kevin Schwantz said quote: "90% of motorcycle racing happens between the riders ears".

If Stoner was put back on the Ducati next week, I wonder what the results would be?????

Rossi is an amazing rider. No one can ever doubt that!!, but I think mentaly he's having a year off. He'll be back.

Yep Stoner has a better bike this year but you have to remember that this is his first year back on a Honda and he is kicking butt.
With Ducati Stoner was winning races. Ducati has been throwing every thing at the Duc to try and win a race but its just not happening.
In my mind Stoner is a better rider than Rossi and the fact that he won races on the Ducati just proves it.
I just don't get why people keep saying that when Stoner is wining races its the bike but when he going bad he is a crap rider.
I reckon that Val will pull the plug at the end of next year.

Well said I totally agree.

I didn't mean at all to diminish Valentino's achievements and talent. He is without doubt the best rider that ever was. My point was more about the bike and Ducati in particular. They are very inventive lot and always looked for unique engineering solutions. However it seems that lately they have lost the plot by insistance on being different just for the sake of it. I mean the frames (chssis). The welded pipes were abandoned a long time ago by all except Ducati. It seems to bite them up the arse now and Valentino got caught in the midst of it. If Jeremy with a rider like Rossi can not get it going, I would say it is time for a serious re-thinking or they are fu&^%ked untill they do.
Interestingly though Hector Barbera who rides a Ducati was 8th (till the last corner) and it is not a factory supported bike. So

It's just the "Tall Poppy syndrome" Rossi was the freak, now it's Stoner!
