I guess the rumors are more than true... much to Patrick's chagrine.

Rossi thinks better than most people know! Hey, what are you doing spying on our board? Not much happening in Waterloo?? Damn beautiful country in Wisconsin!! Wish you could bring some of that down here bro'!! I love Texas, born here, will die here, but damn that cheese country is really really pretty this time of year. Spent some time around Milwaukee and surounding area a long time ago and still remember the beauty! Nice. [moto]

Not much on a Tuesday night, just waiting for Indy.  Glad you liked Wisconsin.  I love the Fall, riding though the back roads with the trees changing color along side    Hope to make it to Texas one of these years. Sorry for the thread jack.   I saw Rossi and was drawn in

Sounds like he may be a bit nervous ... the only 2 guys to keep him from the Championship since 2001 on the same team!  .

Yeah I bet the fall is awesome up there! We have fall here in Texas too. It usually comes on a Tuesday and lasts about an hour! What I wouldn't give for some real honest to God fall weather with colorful trees and the whole sha-bang. I know the winter weather can suck up there with feet of snow and spending months staring at your garaged bike but I'm sure you make up for it come springtime and summer. [moto] I guess we put up with the boring roads and hot weather in Texas because we know we can go on all day rides in December and January. It's a trade off. Hope you get some good rides in before winter hits. Enjoy the race on Sunday!!

Winter is Mod time for our bikes up here, no need to worry about having the bike ripped apart and looking outside and wishing you could take her out today.
I would kill to be able to ride in January.  My bike never comes out before March 1st

Hayden riding for Ducati would be bad for Ducati, and bad for Hayden.  Can't say this often enough.  All we can do is hope that it's not true.  I can only imagine that there is some kind of appeal of having 2 riders in the top 10 ( ducati might be thinking top 5, but they and Nicky are kidding themselvers ).  This must be overriding their sensibilities.

Why I am against this ( again ):

1) Nicky will still be in the #2 slot, and he has not come to grips with that
2) Nicky is not a good bike developer, which is the only reason I can think of that they would not be looking down the line to find a rider to start developing
3) Nicky is past the point of being able to benefit from being "developed".  He is a good racer, he is not going to suddenly get more consistent and faster.  If he gets faster ( he won't ) it won't be consistent.

So, Ducati, in my twisted pregnant dogy little brain, needs the next Casey Stoner.  Nicky is not it.  If they really feel they need developement help, then again, Nicky is not that guy.

Move on Nicky, go peddle your wares elsewhere.  You are a great racer, but the comers in the crowd ( Stoner, Pedrosa ) and the experience in the crows ( Rossi ) are never going to let you place CONSISTENTLY in the top 5.  not gonna happen. 

What about Elias?  What about Canepa?  There are many good choices out, so Ducati, please, here me out, and pass on the pimp-daddy.  neither of you will be happy for that match...

[fastwin]

I've told you before, you're going to make Earl really mad if you keep picking on Nicky.

[Ronr]

troll!!

[Ducatiloo]

Honda can't even dress him, Ducati will provide Nicky with a hat that fits him

This is for Patrick!
