Motomatters yet again show their class with that retraction. I'm sure they will get it right when Vale actually announces he's going to Yamaha.
Emmett is a good man, indeed. |

Ducati should bring in the craziest, fastest, most unpredictable rider on the road that has balls of steel and can live through fire.  Guy Martin I beleive he could ride it beyond the limits and get results like Casey did....but they would hate to deal with the PR nightmare that is his very honest and unfiltered languange and opinion.... |

That was my thoughts on Guy for MotoGP... it's way too pr driven to have him as a viable rider. |

I just had a though... Ducati should grab Stoner after the season and have him test the GP13.
See if they went in a better direction or not.

actually i think everyone, including stoner and ducati, knows that casey is not the measurement tool that should be used for that bike. |

Pretty good of him to get the guaranteed support from Audi, that would def be a deal breaker if that wasnt included. But... I still say 2 years before it's competitive.... Dovi is just going to be their development rider imo. |

I agree 100%. Stoner is a very unique talent, with an aggressive rear end style that can ride around a myriad of problems and still be stupid fast. He rides the Honda the same way he did the Duc, even though the Honda is clearly capable of a smooth style like Pedro uses. Casey gets that bike to buck and squirm, although its not necessary. Its just his way. Stoner's once in a generation ability doesn't translate to the style that 99% of other riders use. While his input and ability to quickly diagnose problems is superb, I wouldn't say any bike is good just because he went fast on it. You need more than his testing to know the truth. |

+1 Right now they just need a guy that will give them decent feedback. Even with Audi's help, they will depend on the clowns that are running the place for any real work until the Audi engineers get up and running. Are there any german engineers outside of BMW that have any experience with motorcycle racing at a significant level? |
