@ Kurst
You do have a valid point. They have changed everything.

@Dweeb
I also aggree with your comment.. Thats proberbly all they havnt changed

I really do think that if JB and crew could have had a free run at the bike, they proberbly could have fixed it in 80 seconds!
I beleive, from rumurs from in and around the Motogp paddock, that Ducati did not fully listen to JB and his solutions. I beleive that ducati (mainly the bloke in the wheelchair) wanted to do it his way. he has now been sacked.
JB and Rossi are not idiots, and they have years and years of experience, especially JB. He has been building race winning bikes since he was a kid.I remember seeing him in the paddock in 1989, working on Gardens and Doohans bike (in thongs , stubbies and a singlet!)
Look at his track record. if he cant build a winning bike (thats what team managers do) then no one can.
Out of ALL the team managers in the paddock, he is the best.
When has JB ever built a loosing bike other than the ducati

Roman,i cant quite make out exactly what you are trying to say.
One minute you say if a rider has to be blamed for the under development of the Ducati then it may as well be Stoner,but then you go on to say that the blame lies with Ducati and only Ducati.
If you think Ducati is purely to blame for the state of the current bike,why point the finger at Stoner?
I would genuinely appreciate your answer.

Facts and stats don't realy tell the truth about the carbon framed Ducati

2010 bike,Casey asked all year for the smaller diameter forks(2009) and when he got them he won 3 out of 4 races with them

2009 Casey got 4 wins on it but threw a 3 race sicky with LI.
Maybe a fitter Casey would have got more out of the Duc,after returning he won 2 races out of 3 with a final DNS race

For Nicky he took his time bedding in with 2009 and it took him all yeat to come to grips with it,in 2010 Nicky was on top of it and had scorred more points than he did with his final year with Repsol even with 3 retirements.

We will never kow how good the Ducati could have been in 2011 with Casey taking the offer of arguably the best bike on the grid and a couple of whizz kids joining the team hell bent on sorting the bikes problems out in 80 seconds.

Ducati are a joke ,and that comes from a passionate italian ,they have got to swallow there pride and look at why this is failing look at why the front end problems still excist and why they are the only ones ,Audi will see the only soloution is to build a japenese bike and badge it ducati .

I thought I read at end of last season that Ducati was to build engines and Suter was to build the chassis, did that not happen? If not it sure looks like it should have, there thats my 2 cents worth
