Anyway, back to the OP. Cal's off to ducati with Vale, Dovi could nick Spies' ride, so that leave two seats at Tech3 for Bradders and Scott, right..?
As there are strong rumours that the 'Rookie Rule' may be scarapped for 2013, everything may yet be thrown into the air again.
I'm gonna get Dorna a pencil to write their rules in, just to make it easier for them when they change their rules every time it suits them..... Anyway.....I'd love to see it, to give Redding a shot on a Factory Ducati......even tho I know the politics of sponsor money, rider nationality etc. etc. etc.....won't allow it to happen :frown: Hey Figaro....if your 'not an ex-racer'.....does that make you a current racer? :tongue:
I am a current racer. I`ve been racing an armchair for years now. I`ve raced it all over the world in many, many classes. I think this will be my last year in full competition though, I`ll still do a few races but I`m thinking about taking a young up and coming armchair racer under my wing. I think I would have a lot of advice to offer, I`ve suffered leg pump when the recliners footrest has been too high, terrible chatter when I`ve balanced a beer on the wrong arm rest and the horror stories when I`ve chosen the wrong snacks for the conditions, well..............:biggrin: Sorry bout that, its shoot the breeze on here or hang a radiator and re paint a mirror frame :wink: I`d also like to see Scott Redding have a test on the Duke, just to see.
Funny thread Just to clarify and remind ... I'm a bit disabled now so cant even ride a road bike any-more, but I still have the passion from the good old days. Its in your blood, I'm sure it is!
