I really don't understand this move. You simply can't say that Crashy Joe is going to be your "experienced rider" after the year he's having.

I think they signed the best riders available at the time....not much compadre strategy on these so called "teams", anyway.

Yeah, that's stretching reality a good bit.

If I were Brivio, I'd consider having a couple of tough guys twist Joe's arm a bit.
He was a way sharper weapon when his shoulder was dodgy.

I stopped rooting for Rossi 'when' he went to Ducati. Day late and a dollar short for me. I couldn't have been happier he was unsuccessful on it.

Lorenzo will beat Rossi in the first race next year.

The funny part is that Rossi and Lorenzo were probably to 2 worst riders for Ducati. The M1 was and continues to be the best packaged bike on the grid. Any other bike is a step down. The ironic twist is that the GP15 seems to be the second best bike out there. Go figure.

I'm on it.

Reading through this thread proves that last year was the silliest of all seasons.
