No, it's 46

That's what I was gonna write but it was too obvious.

Can't believe no one has photo-shopped a Ducati red 46 yet!

Spies - even money to win on the Fiat Yamaha?

Cal to Tech 3.

Frankly, it would be a better move for him in 2012, but you gotta take the chance when and if you get it.  His stock might not be as high next year and there might not be an open seat.  So if it's there for 2011, take it.

He's gonna have a hard first year coming to grips with the bike, particularly with his riding style.  And then it's gonna be all-new for 2012.   That said, I hope it works out for him if he gets the ride.  He's a fun, brash character and I'd love to see him the GP paddock.  And Dorna will finally get a Brit back in the series. 

That shot at Elias from Herve was a bit much.

Lucy's ah-aight, but she doesn't stack up the parade of girlfriends/wives of the Spanish and Italian riders.  And the Austalian one.
