MOTOGP » Ducati could call up Bayliss, Biaggi

it sounds to me that ducati are struggling and that stoner couldnt setup a dvd player

Yes wanye, and your an expert i suppose. Can u explain why he won a wold championship with just his TV remote then?

UM - Stoner isn't racing a dvd player.... there's a difference, Wayne, a Ducait has two wheels. With two eyes open, you could tell the difference. Ducati wouldn't be the first factory that hasn't listened to its riders. Ducati are trying to make a bike with a very small budget by comparison to any of the Jap. manufacturers be competitive and this year it's pretty obvious that the compromises are adding up to a turkey. Stoner is far ahead of any of the other Duc pilots so either he manages to get his own bike better or he's a damn site better rider - or both. Melandri was always much closer to his team mate on any other bike than he is on the Duc so Stoner has to be doing something right.

Finally! At least they are starting to address the problem, but they are only doing it because Casey is not winning.

If Casey was OK I think they'd let Marco and the satellite team struggle along all season.

lets have it right guys stoner hardly put any development into the bike the bike was ready to win races granted cs had to bring it home but ex ducati riders have all struggled ie capirossi gibernau and now melandri why cs is more confident is that ducati as normal focus on the one rider rule and history has proven that theory right ie cappa gibernau having very little help and then given the boot what you see now is ducati reaching its peak in development and to move it forward you need experienced riders not 20 somethings who got lucky in development terms.so due to melandri not having experince with the duke and for that matter casey(development) they have to look elsewhere.

Lol..what happens when Bayliss laps faster than Melandri or even Stoner?? Sounds like a ploy to get the Baylisstic missile back on the moto gp bike.........Biaggi is foaming at the mouth because we all know that he wants to be in Moto gp but just settled for WSBK. Capirossi struggled on the 07 bike until the end of the season...Melandri appears to be following his footsteps. Gibernau didn't struggle on the 06 bike..he just couldn't win races...lol I read somewhere that you had be aggressive on the 08 bike to get the most out of it....Melandri/Capirossi's riding style are smooth and technical...Ducati needs another "i don't care if I crash riding off the seat of his pants" kinda guy.

How about Xaus then!

Capirossi's the guy developing the bike in 07. Stoner's just riding it. Without Capi, Duc's stagnating. Max & Troy had better start looking into the Duc before its too late!

Maybe thay need someone like Elias then..oh not working.

I think that if GP8 does not work, they should go back to GP7 until GP8 is competitive.
GP7 proved to be unbeatable.
