OMG DUCATI ABANDON the frameless bike already

Where did you hear that?

it's me yelling at them

I now officially dub the frameless design "The Preziosi Curse" or better yet, "Britten's Revenge" for stealing and patenting his design.

Didn't Checa qualify on the first row? I know it's not the same since it was raining, but still, the bike can't be THAT bad.

The whole weekend was full of chaos and adventure...in all 3 classes. BEin Sports comes through once again with fantastic coverage.

in the wet. where have we heard that before

+1

Those were 2 f'ing fantastic races...especially race 2! Chaos the entire time!  [bow_down] Too bad for Davies losing a motor, as he was on it. Those guys were all crazy given the conditions.

I have to agree with Raux...the 1199 is looking more and more like a bust. I don't know if it's the frame or the underpowered motor, or a combo of both (my guess), but even the old ass Suzukis are handing it to them now.  :-\ I wish they could figure it out, as GP and WSBK are better when they're in the hunt.

they're stuck with the design at least 2 more years, so they better find the solutions they could not in MotoGP.

If I was Nicky I wouldn't touch the WSBK team after all the years dealing with the GP bike of the same design

I agree.

The problem is WSBK rides may be getting thin. BMW is pulling out next year, and Aprilia is rumored to be doing the same.  :-\

there's also a rumor that aprilia is where nicky's going, so...

Ya, the 2 don't seem to agree, huh! I hope your rumor is correct.  [thumbsup]

who knows... should be in the silly season thread but whatevs.. the current supposed options are aprilia wsbk or LCR honda.  i think he should go wsbk.  go have some fun & win some sh!t.
