MOTOGP » Ducati launches title defender

no doubts with casey, but i hope marco learns how to ride it..........

I'm looking forward to an awesome battle between Stoner and Pedrosa. Casey well and truly dismantled the Rossi legend last year and I think Valentino on a poor Yamaha is going to have to get used to racing the likes of Guintoli, Elias and De-Puniet throughout 2008. If you aint got a factory Ducati or Honda, your just chasing the 3rd place on the podium.

There's one other guy who is going to become a familiar part of that front of the pack mix...

Go Hopper!

Bike looks well but will look better behind a yamaha (sorry had to say it just having a laugh)

Desmosedici GP8 "Clown Killer"

I look forward to Rossi's excuses.

Your talk is big again... let's see if your man stays in the saddle of his electronic toy.

"and in the unlikely event he fails to pull it off"... so you are confident Rossi will do it then MM?

'27'....right...only a real clown could call a multi multi 'all classes champion,' a clown. I think, if you took the trouble to get a little more informed, it's that the Yamaha offers Rossi far too much electronic assistence..he objects to it, and has been guilty of fighting it, but has to live with any degree of it it in order to compete with such an electronically over laden ( but highly efficient ) Ducati...the others not fat behind, come to that..it's all about adapting the electronics to suit. Dean.

That is how you become a World Champion travelling to check out a new bike on your 1stwedding anniversary,that has to be his committment to defending his title,then he could be now a member of "The Mile High Club" It seems that he is not confident in his injuried shoulder time will tell.Reading his comments/Speech it seems that he has matured in a very short time which I hope satisfies the Casey Crushers.I am sure he and Marco will get along fine not sure if Marco will be able to use any of Casey set up it would better not to take notice of what Casey"weird set up"is and just settle down and do his own thing,it has worked so far in his carreer,I believe Casey's set up bothered Loris in2007

Casey s setup is electronics ... if he was susch a dominattor he d won in 250cc which are harder to ride than these boring RC 800cc s.
ALso, CS will never be Rossi. FOr a start , he s only won a chship in the TC era. Rossi s won on 990 ccs , on 2 different brands, and on the 500cc s, the last real racing bikes.
