The announcers did confirm that Crutchlow will continue with the same bike for the rest of the season, since they don't want to give away any "secrets". So expect him to hover around 10th place.

**Edit** More Ducati news, a major update to the GP14 should be available for Aragon. New frame and engine. GP15 will not be available until Malaysia.

2015 might be the year for the Ducs!  Maybe not a championship but maybe a good run for a change.

[DarkMonster620]

as always, CC on the top of the bottom half !!!

I still wonder, was it him or the bike?

[lazylightnin717]

Well it's been shown by Dovi and Crazy Joe that they can do better than that.

So I'm going with him.

I'm dissapointed too. I really wanted Crusty to do well on the Duc.

[koko64]

Yeah me too.

It just don't suit him I reckon. I always thought Hayden would do well on it with his flat track background. I thought he would rear wheel steer it like Stoner who was also a dirt guy. I think MM would do well on it with his rear wheel steering style and throttle touch.

[Speeddog]

While we're dreaming, since there's rumors of MM on the 2015 RC213 at Valencia....

I say they have him and Nicky trade horses for Valencia.

Dovi and Crazy Joe have already served a year of their sentences on the Ducs, so direct comparison to Crusty is a bit difficult.
Every image of Dovi last year, he looked like his dog just died.

I think MM would top five any bike on the grid.

[koko64]

How'd qualifying go?

[ducpainter]

MM, Dovi, George

[koko64]

Cheers.

[The Don]

I think MM would top five any bike on the grid.
[/quote]they use to say that about Rossi before he went to ducati

[Triple J]

Very good race!!

Great battle between MM and JLo. JLo seems to have his mojo back.

Best race in a long time for the Duc. Dovi didn't get dropped as usual. Maybe we're starting to see actual improvement (as opposed to just a softer tire)!

[Speeddog]

AFAIK Dovi was running same tires as MM and JLo.

JLo said his rear tire was smoked before the end, and couldn't hang with MM.

Perhaps the Medium was just right for the Duc, and not quite enough for the Yammie and Honda.
