Finally the dominoes start falling. I used to respect that little whiney pregnant dog but the last couple of years have really made me dislike him.

probably because his personality's tolerable for exactly as long as he's winning?

Capirossi maybe back to Ducati (satellite).

Not all that exciting...I just posted it for the following quote:

...but factory boss Alessando Cicognani told MCN: “Loris has the capacity to stay at the front with the top four."

Um, OK.

Maybe that's what the press is talking about...it's not Rossi going to Ducati, it's Capirossi.

I don't think that's entirely wrong.  On a bike that he can ride (which he hasn't had for years now), he can run with those guys sometimes.  Not consistently, but some of the time.

2006 (990) he had 3 wins and 8 podiums.  2007 (800 devil bike) he had 1 win and 4 podiums.  he can run up there.

[El Matador]

+1 GM2, Capo is highly underrated. Hell, he managed the unrideable much better than anyone bar Stoner.

Wasn't 2006 when Gibernau torpedoed half the grid and Capirossi busted his shoulder?

There was a lotta that going on in 2006:

The year he was seriously in the running for the championship?  Yes.  make the beast with two backsin' Sete.

Not consistently, but some of the time.  

I guess I can agree with that. I don't see him doing it on a consistent basis though.

[gm2]

2006, sete's brake lever of death, yes.

and granted we are hell and gone from the 990 era and the michelin-bridgestone passing eachother in the night thing, but you could argue that capi was going to give it a solid run that year.  if his teammate hadn't bulldozed him.
