Reckon that smooth French style won't work with that harsh machine  I wonder how Jack would go on the current factory Repsol version? The customer bike was terrible back when he rode a Honda. I think Lorenzo would like the Suzuki. |

I think Jacko would do as well on the RC-V as he does on the Duc... but what do I know?  |

I suspect Jacko and Cal have had long discussions about Honda vs. Ducati.

Yes and yes to both your comments. And over a pint or two, (but dont tell their trainers).

Nothing about Miller yet? I've been looking for the confirmation he said was coming, but fear Ducati has pushed him away by dragging their feet  |

It’s a bit unfair to bring Bautista into that loop. It takes 2 to tango and Bautista almost immediately started flirting with HRC. Not that there’s anything wrong with keeping your options open, but that wasn’t necessarily a Ducati not being able to deal with their riders.
Also, in all fairness, Lorenzo was riding like shot for 1 and 1/2 seasons. He basically didn’t come to grips with the bike until after negotiations started.

He generally nailed it but for a few exceptions. Ducati Corse has got the old HRC corporate attitude towards riders, which HRC has evolved away from after losing Rossi. Fortunately Jack's relationship with Pramac is a respectful one with significant goodwill, Pramac saved his ride. Both Jack and Pramac are under no illusions regarding Ducati Corse. |
