I'm not saying it's gonna change anything. What I'm saying is what will it do for Ducati? They already have good engineering. Maybe all it turns out to be is financial backing to keep the status quo. Maybe it'll be more than that. Who knows?

What really matters are the pictures Nate just posted. Mmmmm

well, what i just really hope happens (after thinking about it now) is that audi pressures ducati to accept the rpm limit or build an I4 for gp next year and they get to race ducati crts. that'd be nice. i think ducati was actually contemplating not having a crt motor for next season.
