I would venture to say yes their attitude has changed. At the time Ducati was a new player in the game. Their a little more established now and have an idea that the rider is important. Developing a bike for Nicky is proof. But otoh they didn't listen to Melandri.
And in essence have developed a bike
no one
seems able to win on.
Will they listen to Rossi and give him what he needs to win?
Assuming he goes red of course.

I would hope they would be smart enough to recognize his and his teams talent to develop a bike. but we shall see

yeah, but giving away the championship last year to the Ben and then being the suck this year I am sure doesn't exactly instill confidence in your employer to renew your contract...
Quote from: derby on July 01, 2010, 02:33:46 PM
giving away? seriously?
yes...giving away....he was 88 points ahead of Ben at one point...he crashed at Nurburgring in an uneventful fashion and seemed to not even make an effort to get that bike back up and try and get back in it to salvage a few points....granted at Nurburgring, his shoulder wasn't fully healed and whatnot, but still...and then getting edged out by Spies in Race 1 at Magny Cours...and then crashing in Race 1 at Portimao....so yeah...I say he gave it away.

He gave it away.
AND
The Ben took it.
In other silly season chat, Elias needs to be back in GP
and on a consistent ride.
He's shown he belongs there (not that he hadn't before).

I don't recall that...I recall it being turn 1 slow lowside and due to the angle of how it rested in the camber of that righthand downward turn, it looked like with his shoulder not fully healed, he just was not in the most optimal position to be able to get it flipped right back up quickly on his own...not that the bike was unrideable...
this is from memory of course...

with claiming rule teams coming and then Gresini having 2 years of experience running ~spec engines in prototype chassis, i bet we'll see him back on the grid then.

Ducati needs to sell bikes....I don't think they even care if Rossi can win the championship in 2011 (although I'd like him to). He and Nicky would be good as "teammates", too.....

Why would they let stoner go? He's the only one that can put the bike on the box? A stoner/Rossi combo would potentially put two bikes on the box every race. That would sell more than having Hayden on the team. 1) US is already the #1 market, 2) US doesn't watch Moto GP 3)2 bikes on the box, more sponsorship money.

Stoner's gone...straight to HRC and the waiting arms of Livio Suppo. And I doubt Rossi would share a team (much less a garage) with Stoner.

Why go and use logic with the fanboys?

He has to share it with someone.

But not one of the other aliens, who would command a larger portion of Marlboro's sponsorship money. Hayden's an easy choice to team with...been there, done that, and he's no longer a threat to Rossi.

Why would Rossi, the greatest of all time, be such a pussy about riding with another alien on the same equipment? I guess at the end of the day he just wants to win....

I'm thinking Rossi would prefer to embarrass Stoner on the same equipment...which he would in short order.
