although a highside on an 800 and the rider might actually reach escape velocity and go into orbit   |

don't get me started on stoner!!!
spoilt arrogant little turd, you just know he's got no respect for anyone else in the paddock and when things aren't going his way he throws his teddy big time and blames everything but himself. He expects the bike and track to adapt to him rather than himself to adapt to the conditions.
so he's perfectly suited to ducati as thats exactly how they behave.
i hate dukes, not because of the bikes but because of the whole image that goes with them and the politics they bring into racing. |
cannot agree more that is exactly the way i feel they are ruining the sport with there stupid rule changes if they are not winning drives me mad anyway thats it rant over just glad its not just me who hates them !!!!!!! |

I have to say .... i am enjoying all the racing this year..... Bayliss is amazing and that explains alot about the ducati and wsb has always had this argument about the engine sizes...i think they generally get the balance right ..... and check the suzukis out at monza
I agree with fishy too about stoner ...he is the only one making that duke work at the moment lets not forget capirossi is on the other one ......
I'm enjoying it all and the politics adds to it ......get rid of traction control though .....let the rider do all the work  |

you gotta love this quote from ducati.......
"I would suggest that their time (four cylinder manufacturers) would be better spent concentrating on producing fast, but reliable race bikes, rather than constantly whingeing to the race organisers to vary the technical rules.”
talk about pot and kettle!! 
it is a shame they wont be at donny tho  |

Can't see Airwaves risking being disqualified for the rest of the season.
Can't see how an extra 10 kilos is going to stop them winning either, they are way quicker than anything else out there. |

See that is what i hate about Ducati (AND SNIDEY LOOKING COLIN WRIGHT) they are all happy when rules are changed in there favour and every race is easy but as soon as things are changed to even things up they throw their toys out of the pram and dont want to play anymore.Surprised they dont want bloody 1400cc bikes next year.!!!!!!!!  |

If they want to pull out claiming safety reasons more fool them - tossers - it's bollo**s.
They would happily send a rider out with smashed ankles, wrists, feet etc. who is not 100% fit |

So after all Ducatis moaning and threatning to not play it turns out that Shane Byrne was only 1.8kg under the proposed new 10kg extra weight limit after the races , and he still won both of them.

Anyone want to bet against ducati winning the championship.....not me |
