Now to who will fill the vacant seat. Seems like Dovi has front running.

Dovi to Ducati
Quote from: thought on August 09, 2012, 07:02:44 PM
I'm pretty suprised at Dovi to the duc... I really cant see his riding style adapting to the bike.
But I guess it's another of those "fingers crossed they fix the bike" situations.
my problem with Dovi to Ducati is this...he is like Hayden in the way that he is boldly consistant and not going to be the cowboy to override the machine to overcome it's deficientcy like Stoner...I suspect he'll flounder like Melandri and Rossi....Cal would more likely ( IMHO ) get pist enough to push the limits and end up accidentally getting results....

more likely he'd get hurt.

Quoting your own post that basically said what had already been covered (albeit from a different source) has to be close to the derby of all derbies.
The end days are upon us...

Guess that means I have a chance with Ducati. Lord knows I'd work for cheap and how much worse could I do than Rossi?
Bet I could beat Edwards and a couple of other CRT grid fillers.
Damn sure would make Nicky look good!!

Sorry, dude -- MotoGP sets a top age limit of 50 (seriously? they have to have this in the rules? They should have a rule that says "Riders shall under no circumstances exceed the speed of light" then), so you & I are out of contention. You by rather more than me, but still.
Here's my dream: Audi money and development muscle + the wakeup call of watching the GOAT unable to ride your bike = a big shakeup at Ducati Corse and the wherewithal to build a rideable bike. Stranger things have happened (though not MUCH stranger).
And now it really will be Rossi vs. Ducati for the rest of the season - one of the interesting bits in the MotoMatters story was the insight that Ducati currently has an amazing bike-development rider under contract in Rossi, but every incentive NOT to share their development ideas with him (and the rest of the Yamaha garage).

since you said wherewithal rather than just build a rideable bike, i think your dreams are coming true as we speak. they can't close up shop, they have to try and fix it. and since this is such a major, MAJOR cock up losing him, some heads will roll. like Preziosi's.

Glad to see Rossi go back to Yamaha.
I'm not a fan boy or hater of him, but watching him with his proven skills and record, running by himself at the back of the pack at laguna seca, was kinda sad,
oh well.

I think Preziosi knows that.

yes...but depending on what they continue to give him for to develop for Nicky could be a part of the strategy for here on out, and keeping him from getting the total package to know what to convey to Yamaha...though you really have to ask yourself this...what does Ducati have that Yamaha doesn't?...so maybe it is pointless with their very different configurations of machinery...
wouldn't it be a hoot to see the GP13 come out of the gate with something usable that gives Rossi a hard time for getting on the podium?....the next bet will be how many times Rossi stands on the podium in '13?!?!?!

I for one am happy he went back to Yamaha. With Stoner retiring it would have sucked to watch Lorenzo break Pedrosa in just about every race, with the few exceptions of the Turd actually checking out on some tracks. I think Rossi coming back as the number 2 will shake up his world and hopefully he'll be back to having to prove himself. Maybe a move like in 2008 in Laguna.
Ducati should have fired Preziosi a long time ago. Audi won't be as forgiving. I see an army of German engineers invading Corse in the near future. It won't happen in the next 2 years, but I think they might have a competitive bike by 2015.

I'd like to think that Motegi in 2009 would be a much better example!
