Methinks, as Ben has wondered, that it was Burgess who used some old fashioned aboriginal voodoo to clear him out and make room for Rossi's return... [evil]

Reading that list just puts into perspective how demoralizing this year must have been for him.

So many fascinating tidbits about The Ben's departure from Yamaha & what he expects with Ducati that it'd be a shame to cherry pick one or two. Go read it:

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.

Read that in the magazine that arrived yesterday.  Ben is a good guy and I will be rooting for him in 2013

I respected Spies, especially for his WSBK title, but I questioned the decision to stay in GP.  It is good to hear his personal words on the matter, and that is all I need to pull hard for him on the Duc!

Come on 2013 testing!  I can't wait to see if Iannone will be as aggressive as he was in 2011.

M-ROCin' it!!!
