| Desmo Due 2007
In answer to the questions raised about the running of DD next year I'd like to ask a couple of questions of my own and make a few observations. I'm not looking to start another argument as we have a lot on our plate to sort out at the moment.
Can any of the riders who are getting involved with all of the questioning please explain what they misunderstood about the 2006 DD rider survey.
You all had the opportunity to put forward your questions and all those received were added to the list. The data has been independently collated as I've already informed you all via email, surprisingly some of those posting here were so keen to have a say in what happens that they didn't even bother to complete and return the survey forms.
I've also suggested that a meeting be held after the cut off date for next years series registration to allow all riders in the series to come forward and offer any help they may wish to towards helping with the series. All volunteer roles can be agreed during that face to face discussion and those taking them on made aware of what they entail. So have a think about what you can individually bring to the party to benefit all.
At that point it would be reasonable to make the decisions on who runs the series from the MT perspective; surely it can't be right that those who haven't and may not sign up to ride in next years series should determine who runs it ?
Just to confirm yet again that Ducati Sporting Club will be running The Desmo Due Championship in 2007 for its members with New Era providing the race meetings. We hope to continue with the existing series sponsors and will be having ongoing discussions with them and New Era throughout the closed season.
Information on how to join the series will be included in Pronto so that all members are aware of it.
Can we just back off from this slightly, draw breath and give ourselves time to take an objective view on the finer detail of how it is all done. |
