MOTOGP » Gibernau's MotoGP return confirmed

Can hardly wait for Nicky''s debut on the Duc. Doubtless Gibbers will inevitably be the yardstick at first, as to Ducati''s choice for the factory seat.

Absolute legend!! Lets see how Stoner and Hayden can do against the 'Satelite' Duc of Sete next year. I am loking forward to next year already and the battles (hopefully) of Sete closing the 'Curse' of a win and Rossi trying to stop him (just hope he does not resort to cheating like in 05 at Jerez) 09 is now IMOP officially better than 07 and 08 because of gibernau's return.. Go Sete!!

His Number is going to be 59 inplace of the 15 that De angelis is running!

Sete Giveupnow, more like. Rossi will take him apart next season.

Sorry Darkwaknight...where did rossi cheat in 2005...

Have you even watched the whole of the last lap? Or just the final corner?

And...where is Gibernau and 'Absolute Legend' If i remember rightly, he had the best bike in the field for 3 yrs and didnt win a title, fair enough rossi was on the same bike in 2003...but like it was said, there wasnt much difference if any between sete's, biaggi's and rossi's bike.

Once Rossi and yamaha got it together in 2004, he was back to playing second fiddle, until rossi owned him at PI to win the title, then in 2005 he had all these 'problems' and couldnt even beat his team mate melandri who was in his first season on a honda..

Legend my ass

Leg-End*

Sete was good, in 2003, 2004 & 2005 but he is returning in 2009, the game has moved on and the young guns wont respect how he nearly got the better of Rossi, only to crack and lose to the greatest of all time. There is no way Sete will have the speed to challenge Rossi, Stoner, Pedrosa or Lorenzo, he wont be 'race fit' for a while. I hope Hayden does well, Honda dropped him in it after he won the title and he deserves a break. Bring on 2009 and Go Vale!!

Good another bike

Laughable at best........ Rossi, Pedrosa, Stoner, Lorenzo, Dovizioso, Hayden and a few more on top of that for Gibernau to get taken apart by.

You're past it Sete.... .remember Vale cursed you after you ran to the teacher re: the grid sweeping fiasco at Qatar...... remember, you were cursed to never win a top class race again?

Why bother then?

let see how sete will be up against casey stoner, the best ducati rider ever so far ... then we will shift our perception to the rest of the field esp rossi ...

It''s the return of "The Modern Day Criville" I wonder if the Nieto''s have forgoten about Vale''s curse on Sete/
