MOTOGP » Ducati boss talks Canepa, Kallio, Hayden...

I will be surprised if HAYDN really wants the ride,with the bike being difficult to ride and only Stoner fast on it, Haydn will look a right pillock. From from getting good starts on the honda and going backwards he will have to come to terms with poor starts and going backwards.Gary Bullock

Nicky Hayden is the luckiest WC in motorcycling history and there have been a few, nice bloke, but being nice or good personality or being an AMA champ, will not cut it with the big boys,
Who is
BEN SPIES ? so he beat Matt Miladin big deal, Matt must be getting on a bit now he's been around a long time. Loris and Troy were the next best Ducati riders, I still can't believe Marco didn't make a better fist of it, however Marco Simoncelli has a few things going for him he's good he's fast he's hungry and he's Italian.

I may be wrong, but the only other person who has won a MotoGP race on a Ducati in recent memory besides Stoner was Troy Bayliss. He got pole and lead from start to finish.

Yes my friend Loris won 2 or 3 and got quite a few podiums. However they were on the 990 as was Troy's, but to the best of my knowledge now one else with of course Casey.

Capirossi won on the 800 last year at Motegi
