I wonder what Sete's developement skills are like, when he was on a non factory bike in 2004 he got it to a level that was better than the works Honda's and was a challenge to Rossi. This year his factory bike was also very fast, mainly in quallifying but was also up the front of a few races before he had a rush of blood to the head.
Maybe over the winter testing he will help take the bikes developement forward especially in partnership with Bridgestone.
Agreed Ducati need to pickup a young up and coming rider at some point but they also need to keep their development on pace with both Yamaha and Honda and ahead of Suzuki and Kawasaki and for this you need a rider that can push the bike to the limit which is something Sete can still do as he proved by picking up a BMW car this weekend.
Hopefully when next season gets under way Ducati will be in a position to push for a win from the very first race.

Good points Skids, lets just wait and see shall we.
Maybe the Gibbon will develop the bike to a level that will allow Cappirex to win more races? Cos lets face it, I can't see the Gibbon doing any winning, not after Vale mindfu*ked him!
