Thumbs up Stoner to Ducati

This was commented on earlier in the week on the board, so lets see if the Beeb has it's facts correct.



Australian Casey Stoner looks set to leave the LCR Honda team to join the Ducati MotoGP factory squad in 2007.
The 21-year-old, currently seventh in the rider standings, moved up to MotoGP at the start of the year and has claimed one podium finish.

Stoner is expected to be replaced at LCR Honda by Spaniard Carlos Checa.

Meanwhile, Spaniard Sete Gibernau will soon find out the extent of the injuries he suffered when crashing out of Sunday's race in Portugal.

The Ducati Marlboro rider broke his right hand and aggravated an earlier collarbone injury when he was taken out by Stoner.

A decision has yet to be made as to whether he can ride in the final race of the season in Valencia on 29 October.

Really? Where did you here that?

I hope that is the case, I think it would be great to see Troy on the Gp bike.

The factory said they may run the 800cc Gp7 if there was no mathmatical chance of Loris winning the Championship, does anyone know if this has been confirmed as yet??

The comic says no as that would effectively take a front runner out of the battle and could affect the title for Rossi or Hayden...

Unless they feel it could run up front.

Federico posted it on his blog on Tuesday:

The proposal put forward by several of you to take Troy to Valencia seems a good idea. We still hope that Sete will get better and be able to race, making up for an unfortunate season. If, regrettably, this is not possible I promise you I’ll do all I can to get Troy onto the Desmosedici.

Lets hope Troy gets the reward he deserves, Sete messed up Loris and Ducati's year, time to say goodbye I'm afraid, all is fair in love and war.
