  I like Nicky but I don't ever see him at the front....or Ben.

I see him in front of where he currently is....and THAT is the important thing.

Does this mean Honda will be selling a Hayden Bike along with the Stoner Bike next year?

I don't get it. Hayden calls the Honda a "production bike". Aspar calls it a "customer bike". Is he riding something like what Bautista and Bradl ride ?  Huh?

honda's production racer.  satellite bikes have so far still been prototypes, just a little behind the factory bikes.  this is something new; no one's ridden it yet outside of testing.

Rumor that NGM Forward has asked Edwards to fund the acquisition of Aleix Espargaro by riding for free in 2014.
Y'all can predict Colin's answer.

More rumors that Ben will retire due to FUBARed shoulder(s).

While the WSBK announcers didn't mention word one about this. Hehe.

I would like to see him in WBSK over retiring but I am not holding out a whole lot of hope for him...too many young rockstars coming down the pipe right now that haven't missed the whole season due to injury...

To keep beating an out & long dead horse you could put forth that Ducati's record this year in WSBK was worse than their MotoGP effort.  There must be a nicer way out of a contract. Just sayin'.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

i'm really hoping that this is just a one year "retirement" to enable ducati get an able-bodied racer on their bike for 2014 and give ben time to fully rehab/get back to 100%.
