I must say I hate to see legends go out as a dud... With Honda's last year he was competitive.

Nicky will probably stay with Ducati since he is a good marketing tool.

Duhammel didn't even start Laguna, his bike went ka-blammo in practice.

I never looked @ it that way but if you look @ the Duc riders WSBK they have a multi-nation team, which might not only be just some good riders but strategic marketing.

Looks like its a done deal, Rossi is heading to Ducati for 2011 with a 2 year contract. From the Yamaha press release, it sounds like Rossi is the one who decided to leave.

It also looks like Hayden has one more year with Ducati. I can't wait to see what the two best developmental riders can accomplish when they are together again. After what Rossi accomplished with the M1 from turning it around, I can only imagine what the Ducati will become.

if they're aren't committing to hayden for the '12 season, it'll be bad news for him next year because ducati will be starting to focus their efforts on a 1000cc machine for 2012 and he'll really take the back seat.

they're gettin rid of 125cc and making a 250cc class.

so who do you think is leaving the ducati satelite team? karl abraham is moving from moto2 to GP next season
