    If it happens I hope I'm wrong and JLo delivers. I'll be 99 all up in this piece!

    Meanwhile Rossi is laughing his ass off. He said Lorenzo didn’t have the guts to leave Yamaha to go to Ducati. Lorenzo called his bluff and hasn’t done shit other than collect a huge paycheck!

    I mean he hasn’t really done much worse than Rossi who clearly had the bike fixed in what? 30 seconds?

    Lorenzo has done way worse than Rossi. Dovi won 6 races on the same bike last year, proof that the bike was a capable platform. When Rossi was there, no one won a single race on the bike. Unless you’re saying that the difference comes down to Dovi being a better rider? :crackup:

    And if you spill fluids on the track, you clean it up with kitty litter! :D

    I called it oil dry for maybe 3 months of my life in the 90s while hanging with some cage racers but coming out of it, they all still call it kitty litter. :)

    It's kitty litter. :)

    Depends on the style - ya got ya kitty litter, ya got rice hull ash (only at Memphis but it's great for misting spills), ya got ya fluffy stuff for spills on water, then there are the mats, and ya got the craptacular oil dry stuff that doesn't work anywhere near as good old clay kitty litter - with or without scent.

    Didn't that bike get completely redesigned to an aluminum chassis after Rossi left?

    Jennifer Lopez has as much chance of getting a motogp win this year on a Duc as Jorge Lorentho.

    $50 to the AFF if Whoregay wins a motogp race on a Ducati this year ? (edit punctuation)

    I'd bet you too, but I'm still waiting for you & BananaHat to settle your differences. :Poke::D

    I think he means that the bike was a capable platform last year.

    With all that ass and fame she’d probably bring more sponsorship to the team than Lorentho. They should probably sign her for the remainder of the season. More sponsorship dollars and she’ll get similar points. :D


    I’ve read that Gigi was a driving force in getting Lorenzo on the team over the resistance of the Ducati corporate management. Is this true? Although he’s presided over the renaissance of Ducati in MotoGP would this be a cardinal enough sin for him to get shitcanned if he’s not vindicated? I’m sure if it were an American corporation he’d be toast if this were true. I don’t think Italians quite work that way, but I’m not sure. Americans like a fall guy. Though now they have Germans breathing down their neck so they might not operate as they usually would. Only reason I think he might politically survive is because of Dovi’s success. What sayeth the beeb? If Gigi put himself out there to get Lorenzo hired, will Gigi himself fall when Lorenzo is shitcanned?
