So, if Yamaha is letting Rossi test on the Ducati next week does that also mean Ducati will let Stoner test on the Honda?

I think they already announced that they would.

yeah, I think it was right at about the time Rossi announced he was coming to Ducati...Ducati was hoping that the motion of letting Casey go early to test would lend weight to Yamaha for to let Vale test the Duc at the same time....chess moves...

So, Rossi can test, but we won't hear what he thinks about the bike and what it needs until January.
Although I guess they can't stop Ducati from saying anything... but I'd imagine they might keep it quiet out of respect. Who knows.

Yeah but it's MCN so that could actually mean that RDP signed with Harley or something

regarding rdp from somebody "in the know":
RdP was concerned that if it stayed at LCR, he was going to be sixth on the Honda priority list behind the three factory bikes and the Gresini team, which means he would never get a better bike on what he has right now. He met with Preziosi (sp?) yesterday and was promised he would get better equipment than he could ever hope for at Honda and that he would benefit from Rossi's input into the 2011 bike.

So instead, he's going to be on the fifth Ducati?

I'm under the impression that Ducati supplies very similar bikes to 'customers' as they supply to the factory team. More so than Honda/Yamaha. I think the biggest pitfall has been the Ducati being more difficult to ride, not the quality of the bike. You'd have to imagine the other riders are hoping Rossi and crew can help tweak that bike into something a bit more balanced, which will help all the teams in question.

...or 3rd/4th of five ducatis...
think of it from his point of view; an assurance of pecking order vs no promise whatsoever from honda? seems like a rational decision.
also, a rossi/burgess developed bike is not a bad thing to be on, just ask lorenzo.

i think nicky's progress on the gp10 should be an indicator that ducati has made great strides in getting the bike more "universally" rideable. rossi/burgess can only make it better.
