    Writting was on the wall for Laguna with COTA and WSBK returning to Laguna, im still annoyed by that.

    Assen, PI, Mugello would be my desired rounds to attend, never made it to a GP yet, sucks being a student in NZ, but one day

    2014 will likely come down to who crashes and gets injured least between the 3 spaniards, carl may improve on the ducati but i expect it will be a difficult first season.

    Much like Rossi's 2nd year back at Yam is going to be; Cal's 2nd year will be the yay/nay

    Difficult first and second, followed by a new team.

    So far the works Desmo has sunk (in no particular order), Sete Gibernau, Carlos Checa, Alex Hoffman, Nicky Hayden, Valentino Rossi, Jeremy Burgess and mother effin' Audi.

    I don't think the problem is time or money, the problem is that Ducati have a bad bike with a bad engine and will literally declare riders mentally unfit before they admit there is a problem with it.

    If Crutchy wins a race on the Desmo, ever, I will post a picture of my own arse on Bit-tech's demote thread...

    Prehaps he may look to move to Suzuki 2015 or Aprilia 2016 when they both have their full factory teams, if Ducati does not work out.

    Sete Gibernau, Carlos Checa, Alex Hoffman, Nicky Hayden,

    Thou Gibernau, Checa both rode the long retired and pretty successful 990 Desmo, without the collarbone injury from Catalunya in 06, Capirossi would have had a shot at the title and Bayliss with his wildcard win.

    Hayden also had a pretty good year on the Ducati in 10, only made the podium once, but was in contention in quite a few races, normal was 4ths and 5ths that year.

    Wild be brilliant if Casey came back. But they are going to have there hands full with that New Honda production model. Wonder how much back up Honda will give.

    Lol! I call a rain soaked Le Man as the most likely GP for his win ;)

    Danny Kent riding Husqvarna next year with Ajo as the team mate. Should be interesting.

    Yeah, I'm up for that as well - the same crazy betting tactic worked for the French when they played Ukraine recently
