| Ducati have always been very loyal to their ex-champs so this is a bit of a surprise, although the MotoGP ride was given him to him when they thought he had the second WSBK title in the bag, - then.....well CE2 proved otherwise.
Troy being a world champ was probabley big money, - Caporossi has to be big money, Sete is too expensive, - I think Xaus will be the boy, - Marlboro will be happy about a Spanish rider, and he is a target for other teams . I think Hodgy might well be a bit upset if that does happen as he has done well this year taking into account injuries, but as has been the case many times before, Brit riders get overlooked. Xaus is the future though, did I say that before? And is a very nice man. Think I might form a fan club??!! |
