"The two riders, who have a direct link with the company, will be supplied with official equipment."

on the Ducati payroll and they get factory bikes.  JV squad comes to life.  at least we know they won't be out there on GP0.2's

Now if they can make some progress in development....

Proper funding............ check
Talent........................... check
Progress with bike setup....................................  where did everyone go?




Did I mention how excited I am to have Crazy Joe riding in motogp?

Yup.  But Ben will crash or find some reason why he's running in back, and Iaonne's tires will go off at the end of the race.  Truth be told, my biggest concern is that I'm going to have to learn to spell Iannone.

I'm more excited to see Iannone in MotoGP than anything else next season. Maniac Joe, pick up where Super Sic left off!

Keep your logic I'm with Lindz on this one.

[duccarlos]

I like Iannone the best of the lead guys in Moto2, but I will hold off comparing him to Sic. You can tell they had a similar win it or bean it attitude, but Sic was maturing very quickly.

Ducati definitely knows their 2 mayor markets.

[fastwin]

Spell check Carlos. But I do agree about Iannone and yes, he's no Sic... at least not yet.

FLAME ME if you feel the need to for this comment...but I kinda see Marquez as more of a Sic kind of rider than Crazy Joe...

[must hold tongue]^^^^^

do you mean marquez is more wild, more on the ragged edge than iannone?

[zooom]

do you mean marquez is more wild, more on the ragged edge than iannone?

yes and more likely to make that dangerous push into or past someone in a less sportsmanlike manner like what Sic did on more than 1 occasion....

[Raux]

He can't be as bad as Kenan Sofuoglu

yes

we're watching different races i guess.

we've all seen marquez move in front on a front straight at the last minute, making a dive-under move impossible for others.  but he was (barely) past whoever it was.

iannone on the other hand.. c'mon man, he has that nickname for a reason.  maybe bc he's not always up front you're not seeing it, but he makes marco look like dovi.  the rest of the grid expects him to torpedo them.

i'm not gonna flame ya, but i do think you're wrong.
