I think they've lost the plot here,out of all those experienced riders not currently employed and all the up and coming new young guys waiting in the wings, they poach an existing GP rider from another (albeit satellite ) team?????
I'm not a big Biaggi fan but would love to have seen him on a Ducati.

How about this for a conspiracy theory........

Alex Hofmann riding for the Ducati factory is actually amazingly good PR for the Pramac D'Antin team.

Perhaps Luis D'Antin said to Ducati - "You gave me rubbish bikes this year, my results are no good, my sponsors aren't happy, give my rider the factory ride in Sete's absence."

Bayliss... as a reward for his services to the company, he has a healthy enough lead to be able to miss a few rounds.

Max does bring out the miserable northerner in me.

No argument from me there, but sort of thing he managed to wheedle himself in to.
