No one should be treated like that no matter what. Good luck to you Ben and I hope you do well on the Ducati.

He has more talent than what was on display last season. Hope he does as well as he can on the Ducati this season. Little bit of luck thrown his way wouldn't hurt either.

Treated like what? It's not like they sacked him, they just told him that he wasn't performing up to expectations. Besides, he wasn't delivering at 100% so why would they want him riding at any less.

I think Ben is gonna be fast on the Ducati, REALLY fast. Plus Ducati is going to everything they can to keep him happy, they know what he's capable of, remember 2009?

Be careful with what you eat before the race next time. Being fit is a part of your job.

He was simply amazing back in '09, one of my favorites. Hope he does very well on the duc and surprises the doubters. Good luck, Ben
