Looking more and more likely that Gigi Dall'Igna has been captured by Ducati.

Good for Ducati, IMO, but I'm not happy that it's at the expense of Aprilia.

here is where I put down my preference for Gigi to go to Ducati...and Nicky to ride an HRC customer RC1000V ( or whatever they are going to call it) machine for either Aspar or LCR.

Collateral damage isn't really the best phrase, but that's kinda what will happen.

Aspar drops Aprilia for:

A) Ducati "customer bike" i.e. GP13 with spec electronics and spec software. I hope Martinez is smarter than that, tho.
    It'd be a hopeless package, and Nicky would run far away.
B) Customer Honda.

Alstare *doesn't* drop Ducati in WSBK, Batta has been very unhappy this year.

Why, so he can continue to circulate in 8th place?

I hope it's on the Aprilia, which should go full factory in 2015. At least then he'll have a chance.

I think it'll likely be right there with it in 2014. If they go full factory in 2015 (as expected) then I think it will be ahead of it. No matter how you look at it the RCV1000 is a 3rd tier bike...behind the factory bikes, and behind the satellite bikes.

I'll just be glad to see Hayden off of the Duc...but I don't think he'll gain any positions on the RCV from where he's been his whole time at Ducati.

I don't....

the new ART bike, with pneumatic valves, more motor, and a seamless transmission?  possibly, yes.
