Hah! Gotta love the translations...somehow, I don't think so. If he's already kinda pissed at GP already, why take on a headache?
That would be interesting for sure. He does like Italy However, the Italian press is king of like reading Superbike Planet for factual information
That's pretty funny considering we're talking about Spies, who's preferred outlet is superbike Planet.
It's make some sense. Ducati could afford to pay him well, the bike would be the same or damn close to what nicky has and he could definitely help develop the bike. But the thing that makes me think it'll happen is that Dad of Ben and Ben both use Tumi, Tumi has a tie in with Ducati and I'm sure that Ducati and Tumi would hook them up big time. Best part is Dad of Ben could then send me some Tumi stuff as payment to not root for Ben.
Meh, I don't need no dots! I can connecting nothing to nothing Of course some Ducati Tumi stuff would be pretty damned cool if a little pretentious
I buy a Hyper, Rossi admires it in Indy, signs with Ducati. I buy a Multi which is faster, Ben didn't see it but we did talk in Indy so he'll sign with Ducati and being as the new one is faster then the new Ducati rider will be faster as well Some day I'll have to apologize to Rossi....
I could see Ducati doing that. They have huge sales in the US, so why not have two well liked American riders. The marketing could be great for them.
Because he's got nothing to prove to himself or others. He loves racing but not to the exclusion of everything else so if he's not happy where he is, he'll go somewhere else. If he thinks he'll be happy on a team that's more important than being competitive - that and there is always the challenge aspect of riding for an underdog.
