This thing sounds broken...

I haven't seen any overly exuberant postings from DQ, nor have I seen/heard any chatter other than the post that's been floating around... yeah, I'm living under a rock lately.

Did Rossi actually sign with Ducati? Is it official? ink has dried? What about his crew? Are they coming along too?

He could ride the bike as early as the Valencia test the day after the final race.

Everyone's wanted to see the Italian on the Italian.

When did Stoner leave?

For the record, he hasn't actually left yet.  He's finishing this season with Ducati and then going to Respol Honda for next year.  There hasn't been any official anouncement from Honda what is going to happen to Pedrosa and Dovisizio, the current Repsol Honda riders.  The rumors are that all three of them will be on Honda factory supported teams next year.  What might happen is two factory teams (well, one team, but with two different sponsors):  a one-bike Redbull factory Honda team (like Dovi) and a two-bike factory Repsol Honda team with Pedro and Stoner.  But that's all speculation for now.
