    Well, could be a great race tonight, best news is Nicky Hayden got the Ducati onto the front row qualifying 3rd behind Lorenzo and Pedrosa, then Crutchlow 4th and Stoner in 5th. I really thought Stoner would just ride away with the championship this year but it looks like he could have a battle on his hands. Very early days of course.
     Rossi is down in 13th, if only Ducati had listened to Stoner, appreciated what he did for them and kept him on, he'd be winning races if not the championship for them this year (if only, if only)

So Stoner battled through in what was quite an interesting race, lots of place changes to start with and it was an interesting fight in the pack for 2nd to 5th most of the race, with a couple of paint-swap incidents but thankfully everyone stayed upright. Glad to see Hayden was competitive but where was Rossi??? Aren't they riding the same bike?? Has the Doc lost his bottle maybe?

Unfortunately I couldn't stay to the finish, the broadcast kept skipping and blacking out for seconds at a time and I lost patience with it and went to bed. Did others get that problem or was it just local to my reception?

According to the studio commentary it was a satellite issue ... same for everybody apparently.

Hayden finished 8th and Rossi 9th although I think there was about 5 seconds between them. Hayden was challenging up the pointy end for the first few laps but couldn't keep the pace up.

I hope Ducati sort out their issues but the fact that it hasn't happened by now doesn't fill me with confidence that they ever will.

[Sundog]

I'm guessing that things won't improve with the GP12 bike and Ducati focus on Super stock and then WSBK with the Pana, which should pwn anything put up against it for a couple of seasons at least.

In a recent interview Claudio Domenicali stated that they didn't need racing to keep their profile up but the new Audi ownership could change all that if they want to somehow have their name associated with the GP circuit, so there may be life in the Desmosedici yet.

[Betty]

What I found interesting was Doohan's comments that since Rossi has decided he has 'nothing to prove' and that Nicky is the one 'pushing' the bike ... that Ducati may now be developing the bike with/for Nicky rather than Rossi.

[Two dogs]

Yes it was great to say Nicky pushing hard up the front , I just hope they can sort out  some of the issues
as to why he dropped off the pace in the later part of the race. Tyres maybe ?
On the Panagali found this
Oh hell yeah !!

Ducati 1199 Panigale first ride

  I happily eat my words, I thought he dominated the race. Also nice psychological move, not bothering to come out for the warm-up.
