  7. Rossi wont make a decision until he sees whether the Ducati becomes competitive.

  8. Well thats an easy decision then:wink: He dosent have the luxury of time and needs to get on a competitive machine. As for Cal going to Ducati ,it would be a poison chalice better avoided.

  9. Could it be that Rossi is developing a customer bike? We've seen that Suzuki are developing a motogp machine based around an in-line 4 engine, and we are now hearing that Honda are considering producing customer versions of the RCV. We are also confused as to why Hayden is getting better results than Rossi despite knowing for sure that Rossi is the better rider under most circumstances. Maybe it's because they're not riding the same spec bikes...

  10. The Gresini wont be fast enough to win races, Honda wont allow it. The Ducati might be fast enough to win races if they can fix the problems.

    At Ducati, Rossi would be king and everything will be done to make him fastest, that wont be the case on a Gresini or Tech 3 bike.

  11. ..and of course were taken in to confidence by the 'in the know' staff and given such reliable information, or perhaps he bumped into a journalist from the Daily Telegraph :rolleyes:

  14. I don't think it will as long as perioso is in charge.....:wink: Audi might give him the boot soon though and who knows...... BUT they need to be quick!

  15. At the moment he is not that hard to catch so giving him the boot might be delayed as I guess Audi is quite confident. ;) BTW Stoner fans went quiet, is that because inside they now know?

  16. It still wont be as quick as a Repsol bike. Politics mean that if the Gresini starts bothering the Reposl bikes, then HRC will slow it down.

  17. That depends on the rider...If there's any truth in the rumour, then it's a guarantee Gresini will be getting a factory fit-out for next year. And would you bet against Rossi versus Pedrosa..?

  18. Marquez will spend most of next year crashing or being well roughed up by hardened motogp racers!!

  19. I hope your right Lucaz! Audi will not take full control untill July time according to Torchio, who i expect will be replaced too! (they always replace the CEO)

  20. He still looked good on the Ducati around Misano this afternoon though, I had better savour the moment then.
