Spy shot in Aust M/CNews Mag shows Franco Battaini (test rider) on an alloy twin spar chassis at Mugello. The mag claims the frame was designed by Ducati but made for them by FTR. The mag also claims this has caused internal conflict within Ducati management.

Twenty bucks says my old Rupp mini bike from when I was a kid handles better than Duc's GP bike.
Hell, resurrect the old Rupp engineers and have them design the frame.

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

they aren't 'claiming' -- it was publicly stated that they were developing one in parallel but that they had farmed out the job since they have no experience building them.

The bike is fine. The problem is Rossi. He's never been able to ride anything well.

Comments about whining go in the Stoner thread.

The Yamaha was not the best bike when he switched from Honda.
