The Zuke seems promising, wish they could get a rider capable of a podium on it.

I suppose I shouldn't be discouraged that the 800cc Zuke is faster than the 1000cc Ducati...new chassis and all. But damn...
but it is a further slam on the gp11 that hr can do better

Wow, what's all that shiny aluminum looking stuff on the Pramac Duc? Oh... it's aluminum! laughingdp Still wondering why the Duc GP bikes have screens on the exhaust outlets? Huh? I'm still going with the idea it's a DP Corse spark arrestor kit for legal off roading in National and State Parks. Grin

when you're limited to six engines, it's best to not let trap gravel in through the tailpipe.

it's not like seeing the bottom of the grid satellite bikes be 3-4 seconds off, especially in a test, is unusual.

I don't remember them being there before Rossi showed up. And if you'll recall, Rossi was one of the only GP riders to run a muffler, when he was on the Yamaha.

My guess, in no way supported by actual evidence, is that the screening on the exhaust tips decreases the noise somehow.

they've been there since the engine allocations started and they've specifically said they're there b/c of the above.  derby wasn't guessing.

Sure. But that 1-2 extra seconds a lap may well make a big difference over 27-30 lap races...lots more backmarkers.

All I can say for Ducati is that they better have one hell of a plan this winter..... not just endlessly trying to recreate the same failed idea they've been using.  Preziosi feeds us a bunch of BS like "we don't expect to have good times" etc just to cover his ass because he's failing to fix design flaws over and over and over.  You can say "its just a test," but they are arguably farther off the pace out of the gate than leaving the 2011 season.  I don't see how they are going to find 1.5 seconds in the next three months.  Maybe they will, but it seems like a lot to ask.  Rossi has to be worried.
