You'll need to supply more evidence than that.

Well, one thing went right for The Ben this year - his bike racing team finished the season as the #1 ranked Domestic Elite Team. http://elbowzracing.com/

That's why I was hoping he'd take the year off to race bicycles. I'm just not crazy about him signing with Ducati for next year. I love Ducatis... just not their GP bikes.

yeah, but if you leave GP you never come back.. better to gamble on the improvements than not play at all.  for now.

Yeah, I know. I see his reasoning/logic. Just not crazy about his choice. But it's not like there are a lot of competitive seats in MotoGP. Wasn't thrilled with CE's choice to go CRT but he has had his day in the sun. It made more sense to me to see Edwards go to a CRT team than The Ben going to the Duc JV team. Whatever. It's not like two cents means anything. Just would have liked to see The Ben back in WSBK kicking ass... ala Bayliss and Checa style. waytogo Dolph popcorn

In ten years that will be appropriate for his career.

WSBK has become a haven for racers that want to prove that they are not over the hill regardless of what the MotoGP paddock says. MotoGP does not want Ben to leave. He is still young and very talented. He is also desperately needed to keep any American audience watching. Let's face it, Nicky is getting to the point where he'll be sent to the pasture, along with CE. Ben will be the only American on a factory bike in 2014.

That sounds like an offer of a wager. Grin
