Good article.
So, what's the score so far? Rossi may or may not bail during this season, but will almost assuredly not stay on with Ducati for another year, barring a miracle. Ducati may drop out next year anyway, if they refuse to sign on concerning upcoming rules changes. And
Suzuki might return to GP in 2014
, though by that time who knows what the status will even be concerning prototypes.
This leaves us with a 2013 season which could consist of Honda, Yamaha, their satellites, and the CRTs. Does that about cover it?

I think points out one thing. The press is finally ready to blame the cause of the disaster that is the Ducati MotoGP Team... Preziosi.
Ducati will have to fire him, pull out, develop a new bike and then reenter after a year or two. They'll have to lay blame on him and not the factory to recover their reputation.
They can no longer blame the riders, it's too obvious now.

develop a new bike
Shoehorn the GP engine into a modified 1198 chassis and call it a day.

Must point out......
Ducati builds XX new frames and YY new bikes for Rossi.
Rossi cannot get results.
What is he going to say?
"I'ma sorry, I'ma a wanker and can't ridea fast."
Of course not, he's going to blame the bike.

there is some credence to that line of thinking... however he's won 9 world championships on 3 different brands in 5 different formats.
if he says the bike is unrideable, it probably is.

Stoner did better on the difficult bike. He has a dirt track backround, as does Hayden. It will be interesting to see if Hayden outpoints Rossi this year. Rossi has finally ridden a bike he couldn't adapt to.
I wonder if Ducati approach Stoner in the silly season.

The Euro GP style riders coming up from 125s all struggled with it.
Maybe Ducati should be targeting American and Australian guys with the dirt track backround. Did Spies start in flat track?
Rossi would do well to get his own Yamaha team for next year and Ducati would do well to admit that the fundamental character of it's bikes suit a certain riding style and hire accordingly.

i see him on his own yamaha team next year.
i also see Ducati relenting and changing the angle of the engine. or leaving GP. the latter is less likely IMO due to the italian view of racing.

Rossi going up against Stoner, Pedrosa, Lorenzo with a satellite Yamaha?
'Cause I can't see Yamaha giving him a full-factory bike to compete with their own factory riders.
