Quote from: Ducati CEO, Gabriele Del Torchio“Nicky is a wonderful person and a great rider. This year, he greatly contributed to improving our Desmosedici racer. Next year, he and Valentino will hone the bike to its ultimate winning potential.â€

Can't wait to hear from Rossi, himself.
Then I'll do the happy dance. :D
Thanks Big :)
Saw that yesterday and nearly jumped out of my seat. But until The Doctor says it, I'll restrain my enthusiasm.

Glad they mention Nicky in the same sentence with Valle. Isn't Hayden contracted through the end of this year? I thought he was a "free agent" 2011?
only that the bad news is that Ducati "unconfirmed" the rumor
