  6. Testing over and now real racing..
    Will Ducati find a setting in 3 hours instead of 3 days while testing?

  11. Watched it at 4am (not by choice I may add but couldn't get back to sleep) looks to be an interesting race (sorry 2) tomorrow very close field but as Whitham said there's 6 Brits all with a chance of winning the title this year

  13. It would appear, then, that the calls (and petitions...) for Ducati to pull out of GP's to concentrate on WSB were a touch premature...

  15. :biggrin::upyeah::biggrin: Now this is why i love what i love in Ducati.. every 12 years, they start from a white sheet of paper and set new standards. That are also gorgious to look at...and sound heavenly!

    Alstare got the bike 3 weeks before last testing. then had to ship it out after 2 weeks of fiddling, then riders only had a couple of hours test and then they go smash last years king of the SP, Kawasaki... whatever happens next, we now know that the frame concept works.. like the trelly frame worked for so long...

    let them get back to it to keep developping the GP bike along the same route...

    glad i ordered the R when i did.. there will be a rush on them now! :) :)

  17. Is ducati running any extra weight this year with restrictions on the engine?
     
    #17 Duke em up, Feb 23, 2013
  18. No extra weight but 50mm inlet restrictors which have caused complications.
     
    #18 900streetfighter, Feb 23, 2013
  19. Nearly had 2 in the final SP the too...great start for Ducati
     
    #19 bradders, Feb 23, 2013
  20. Thats one problem sorted then trying to sort out the balance of the bike with extra weight to sling around.
