Saw that the other day... still not "official" but most likely to happen.

maybe he will be the bump Ducati needs to get back into the spotlight that Yamaha stole from them years ago.

I think it takes quite a big ego to do this sport and do it well.
How many mere mortals can take a bike through a corner at that kinda speed and not eat $hit?


Kinda like F1 racing...those guys tend to be pretty egocentric as well.

I heard about this being a possibility a while back. Be interesting to see the Italian hero, on an Italian bike. We shall see.

More like how many mere mortals have the courage take a bike through a corner at that kinda speed first.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so unhappy. I loved the Doctor. That guy was a goof and incredible on a Yamaha. I am sure he will do well on the new ride.
