Didn't KR, Jr. led into the last lap @ Estoril '06 on the Honda/Roberts hybrid?
I think so. IIRC, he miscounted laps, and ended up in third. Elias won, Rossi second.

Fingers crossed and toes crossed. Maybe teeth crossed. Body position crossed. I don't know what else to cross.

If Rossi doesn't win right away on a duc (which is a real probability), will it be blamed on equipment or he hasn't healed completely?

It'll be blamed on equipment and getting used to the bike. Unless his shoulder problems last through the off-season (they could -- the injury sounds pretty bad). Personally, I don't see him winning right away. Lorenzo is just too good and has been on the same bike for too long. Riossi and Burgess will have some catch-up to do, which we'll see in the first half of the season
It seems like in the change from a screamer, Ducati sacrificed something at the pointy end to make their bike more rideable for anyone who name isn't Stoner. How that will affect Rossi is uncertain. In the 500cc era, talent could make up for an inferior bike. Not nearly as much now. Rossi wouldn't win on the 2010 zuke, for example.

Gives him 2 options for why he's not winning.
Rossi doesn't miss much.

Not surprisingly, Suppo says the Stoner move will be good for him (CS) because CS needs a change of environment. In other news, the sky the blue.

The real target for Rossi/Burgess will be 2012 in my opinion. The polished Yamaha is going to be tough to beat next year, but a change in the regulations will be a fresh start for everyone..... again. I wouldn't rule the man out next year though and I think Stoner is going to fly on the Honda.

It was a lot less about the bike back then.
