Ah, but Rossi is simply
using Ducati so that he might retire from MotoGP as a seven-time champion -an Italian star on an Italian bike- and then pursue his stated next adventure... motor car racing. Perhaps Montoya v Rossi at Daytona?
Yes, Val will be a thrilling addition to the Ducati team and will continue to ride at 10/10ths all the time every time... trying to catch Lorenzo and Spies. [smiley=clap.gif]
