Dall'Igna's new Duc

[duccarlos]

Well considering that they were building it around his input, or at least as much input as they took from any rider, I would have presumed that he would have somewhat liked it.

[OT]

Probably a lifelong "no criticism" clause in his contract

Well gp15 looks a lot smaller...
Completely new, smaller engine, new chassis.

Hope it performs....

Speram ben!

Looks great. We'll see how she goes next week.

[HotIce]

Akraporn! 

[koko64]

Wow split with Termi.

[duccarlos]

They split with Termi last year IIRC.

[ducpainter]

They coulda splurged for gloss clear.

It's a great looking bike, but that's never been an issue with the GPs

As usual, David Emmett is the must-read on the topic:

Just read the Emmett article.  Good read.  Key thing that came across to me was that it is noticeably shorter than the 14.3, which should help with the chronic understeer.  Lots of other little improvements that, at least as they were explained, sounded very good.

But in the end, MM is still alive and well so even in the absolute best case scenario where the Duc is finally on par with the jap badges, Divi and Iannone need to beat the most alien of aliens.

[Speeddog]

Well, MM does *occasionally* fall off during a race, so we can always hope that The Andreas^© can capitalize on that.

[Triple J]

I don't see Dovi winning anything, other than the occasional race, mainly when others fall. He had his shot on a factory Honda. I think Crazy Joe has more potential.
