Gibernau on a satelite ducati... fail


If it's not factory machinery then why make a big come back? Or is it factory machinery promised to him? Satelite bikes are good for the odd podium and wet race win... that's it!


I'm glad Hayden left Honda and with his great attitude and composure even in the recent dark days at Honda... I think his passion along with Ducati's passion will make for a great team up... I think he'll need to learn to ride with his heart and not his head tho. That bike is a bastard I think.

09 Looks to be a very exciting year.
I think Hayden will do well with the Duc and he'll be riding for a company thats wanted him for a long time.Melandri will do better than West on the kawi and Dovizioso will do well with the Repsol Honda.
Can't wait!

the black looks sweet on Rossi's bike, Vale is so great, but its nice to see that Nicky is getting along with the Duc.

Can we just start the season now.I'm going thru Moto GP withdraw!!!!No good racing on TV and stuck inside to cold to ride.I hate winter!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How the heck did Capirossi get the Suzuki ride over Spies? Anyway, good on Nicky, best of luck to him. Good to see Duc welcome him so openly. Can you ever imagine HONDA painting American flag on entire bike? Still unsure of Melandri's talent. Proven winner I know, but even probably the most aggressive rider in Motogp (Hopkins) couldn't get it done with Kaw last year. Still, Milandri'll probably do more than West. Hopefully Hopkins will stay fit this year and at least podium or win. As long as Nicky whips Honda or at least Pedrosa, I'll be happy.
