Just the same rumors about Audi trying to convince Stoner back onto the train wreck.

Ducati just needs to get a replacement rider for 4 races who can help development.

ahem... I know at least 2 Aussies that would be perfect.

Please step away from the crack pipe.

Pirro on the "lab bike". Sure it isn't Ben's seat, but it is testing with an additional rider to improve the program.

Don't like saying it but stick a fork in Spies.  He's done.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

The guy, who sounded like Spies, on Sunday's race broadcast did a good job sharing insights about the race....but he's too young for his next career.

Give him a year to heal up and he'll be "good as new".

One can hope. [popcorn] As I said, maybe he should stick to bicycle road racing. ;)
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

if "new" = able to ride a motorcycle in anger, sometimes with shoulders that is never the case.

Biaggi couldn't compete in MotoGP on a competitive bike...what makes ANYONE think he could compete in MotoGP on the Duc?  [laugh]

^ What he said. Don't think that Max is looking to get back into racing. Especially on a Ducati. Maybe the factory is just looking for some outside input and ideas. Lord knows thay need them! [bang]

Max is just going to give them a second opinion.

Ben has a 2 year contract and those are generally air tight. He will be racing on a Duc next year even if they simply take an 1199 and paint it in Pramac colors and leave him racing for last with the rest of the CRTs.
