Why not Ben?

Hasn't the boy been spit off enough THIS season for you? YOU'RE A MONSTER!! ALL YOU WANNA DO IS SEE HIM CRASH TRYING TO WIN!  [laugh] [popcorn]

I don't think Ben is "aggressive" enough to ride the handful that is the Duc. Not to say he is a weenie or anything but he has been riding bikes that just work his entire career and now he is going to something that is one half train wreck, one half physics experiment gone wrong, one half engineering oops and one third this math equation.

Well, I sure didn't see that coming:

Doesn't surprise me a bit.

I'm pretty sure Rossi has thrown in the towel.

He's not going to risk injury to go fast on the Duc

Iannone got that nickname for a reason. Screw frontend feel. Win it or bean it!! Plus he needed to impress the brass. Rossi threw in the towel about half way through last year.
