So who had more personality, Stoner or JLo?
Ducati must be offering huge $$$ and good conditions.

If he goes, you're gonna jump on the band wagon like a fat kid on a Twinkie.  In 2007 Stoner won the championship on the Ducati. If Jorghey moves and wins the championship in my brain it would be "Ducati won the championship!" So who had more personality, Stoner or JLo?
Ducati must be offering huge $$$ and good conditions.
I never disliked Stoner. He was a bit standoffish, but I never got the over the top arrogant vibe that Jorghey puts out. |

I thought Stoner was disliked more than JLo, but maybe I was wrong. Was it the case English fans disliked Stoner and now Italian fans dislike JLo?

No one likes Jorghey. I doubt even the Spanish can stand him.
Stoner has been called a whiner because of how things went down with Ducati. We now know that it's crying was very accurate. It also came about because of the way they handled the "lactose intolerance" thing. There will always be haters out there.

Why do they refer to the bike as the "Desmosedici GP" instead of GP16?

Why do they refer to the bike as the "Desmosedici GP" instead of GP16?
"The only downside to the new bike is its name, where Ducati have made a rod for their own back. Because this is 2016, and the Desmosedici has always been named for the number of valves it has (desmo valve operation, plus sedici, the Italian for sixteen), Ducati wanted to do something special. So they have named the bike the Ducati Desmo 16 GP, which left both riders confused as to what to call it. If the riders can't get the name right, the chances of fans and journalists calling it anything other than the Ducati GP16 are very slim indeed." https://motomatters.com/analysis/2016/02/01/2016_sepang_motogp_test_monday_round_up_.html |

"Ducati also announced it was moving away from having a year attached to the end of each new Desmosedici GP's name, in part to follow the lead of other manufacturers with a common model identity, but also to help the status of satellite teams with older models."

Yeah, I guess they don't want to confuse Italian speakers by whether the sedici in GP16 is in relation to the valvetrain or the year.

They don't want to show that the satellites are running 3 year old tech.

Agostini has told the press (via MotoGP.com) that he is aware of a "super offer" made by Ducati/Audi to Lorenzo.
