I'm happy with the idea of Foggy as President, British and totally succesful on Ducati's... who else could be better?
If the fact he's no longer involved is a problem, then my money's on Hodgson - British, reigning world champion on a Ducati, currently racing a Ducati at the highest level... and a genuine nice guy...
Mood: All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing
Oh come on! How on earth can we possible condone having a president who is running a rival team, and hasn't been heard to say a decent word about Ducati in the longest time.
have to be flappa for me. Smart running a close second. Both Ducati legends. As with Foggy, the others could be wearing someone elses leathers next year????
It seems silly to suggest any of the current racers as they'll probably be off to another team in a year or so anyway. I say sticke with somebody who when you think of them, you think of Ducati. If that means staying with Foggy then so be it. I quite like him anyway.
Frankie won't sack himself so he should be on a Duke for the rest of his racing days, but how long will that be?

This is why I reckon it should be Paul Smart. That name is indelibly associated with Ducati ever since the Imola 200. That race put Ducati back on the map in racing and was the first success of the L twin that all of our bikes have evolved from today.
Flappa gets my vote! Ex works rider,still wears the Ducati "uniform",travels over Europe to race meetings off his own bat & he's loved at the Ducati factory!!
