All MotoGP bikes now allow the riders to shift without using the clutch, which allows the riders to move the rear brake to their left hand. Lorenzo has spoken a few times about how in Yamaha he never needed to use the rear brake, but acknowledges that the rear settles down the Ducati mid corner.

I spoke to a local Duc racer about this - he's thinking about a thumb brake - I suggested a thumb clutch and using the clutch lever/master for the rear brake.

This has crossed my mind as well, as possibly an easier homemade solution on a cable-pull clutch (supermoto/dirt bike/flat tracker). There's also The Clake option from a company out of Australia, but I believe most disengage the clutch before applying the brake. Their SLR option adds a second finger lever to the bars to operate clutch/brake independently.
http://www.clake.com.au/
For me personally, I use the clutch way too much, and am far too old to try to relearn the basic instincts. I'm still a mess when it come to gp shift... Flat track would be an easy test since you don't really shift once in your running gear. But then, your always turning left so the brake pedal is always available.

Here's a quick clip showing how the Clake SLR mounts. It's quite specific to mating with a particular brembo clutch master found on dirt bikes. Rekluse also makes a kit that seem to use the brake master and lever from a mountain bike.

Whatever it takes.
I'd make the bike faster...that's just me though.

All I can say is wow! Rossi is already back on his M1 and looking to compete this weekend!!
A double compound fracture would put most mortals out of commission permanently.

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.
