Your point is taken.

If they wanted a native English speaker they should have picked Paul Smart...years ago. A real gentleman.

Not as much history on Ducatis, but enough for them to build a bike with his name on it.

This whole Stoner thing smells bad...like politics. Grin

Paul smart isnt motogp nor a current rider. Stoner could win another championship this year if they put him on full time. It's got us talking, the world interested in ducati gp again. It's a brilliant move.

When Stoner puts the leathers back on and races I'll believe he could win a championship.

That isn't gonna happen, so that part of your argument is irrelevant, because Casey can't stomach the bullshit that goes with racing in motogp.

...and all I'm talking about is Stoner's character...not racing or Ducati, or motogp. I don't see the brilliance.

"Casey Stoner says there is currently no plan for him to make MotoGP wildcard appearances with Ducati this year, and has ruled out a full-time return to competition."

+1 regardless of motivation on both parties, we're still talking about Casey going back to Ducati on some terms.

Despite the caveats,  this is what a lot of people have been waiting for. Stoner and Ducati  will first see what his test pace is like before considering a wild card race. Be interesting to see if "leaked" test pace times appear.
At least Ducati will now listen to him that Gigi is there.

The ambassador part is due only to the championship and although Stoner doesn't have the  Bayliss/Chilli warmth, when it comes to Moto GP champions, Ducati are short on choice! I guess like in politics, some candidates bests assets are their wives.

Also, Ducati saw a real recovery and the beginnings of success in 2015 with Crazy Joe and the other guy, too.  So, why create confusion/animosity with their riders - especially by courting such an arrogant ass as Stoner?

I'm with DP - more going on here than meets the eye....I say part of it is Adrianna wants him out of the house and away from the farm as much as possible  Evil

I think dovi may been on his way out. Iannone's success definitely made dovi look like the no.2 rider.

Yes, the Ape is totally new for 2016.

The bike in the vid looked like a second-hand 2015 unit.

I'm still amazed at how thin the frames are.
