WSBK » Tardozzi confirms Ducati exit

Oooh interesting! Maybe Ducati WERE expecting team orders to be used?

Next year Ducati = Ferrari

if it was davide's lack of orders for fab that caused the knob to hit the crack, well then, to hell with ducati. it was another italian outfits' forcing the faster pilot to hand over an imminent win, so the "teammate" could benefit, that put me off F1
it's called racing for a reason.
let the better man on the day win!

Idk but if I was Haga I wouldn't want to win the WC just cuz my teammate helped me. I would want to earn it straight out. That's what Spies did. I heard somewhere that Haga himself said " I don't need help" or somewhere along those lines.

Tardozzi has a pedigree of success so why would ducati not try to convince him to stay? If Fabio is the issue then why not just get rid of him. I mean Tardozzi's track record supersedes Fabio by a lot. Oh well....

The price of failure. Not managing Fabrizio to benifit the team and losing the championship as a consequence.

How long before Fabriio goes or get demoted to a sattelite team?

My bet is on, he expected to replace Suppo and it was made clear to him that was not in the plans. Seems most likely to me if he indeed has not set plans.

He gets all my respect by not giving the stupid team orders.

That's not what I wake up to see on an early Sunday morning when I could be doing 2 other things...

1- Riding my bike.

2- Fighting my whiskey hangover.

Fck team orders and fck F1.

Lorenzo needs a manager BTW.

Yamaha would be stupid to not grab this guy.

You think Rossi will get mad?

Maybe the team orders thing was the correct decision for everyone watching the racing but Ducati and their sponsors want a championship. If winning the championship, keeping both the factory and the sponsors happy means that Fabrizio has to move over occasionally then that's what has to happen, even if Haga doesn't want it. It may not be good to watch but that's just the way it is.

That's right, I did hear that Meregalli was gonna get promoted and that might welcome Tardozzi into yamaha. But your right, his technical skills are really good and can't be overlooked. I bet all the major factories are calling him as we type..lol
