"but will his style work well on a superbike?"
In my opinion yes-Max is the archetypal 250GP rider-all corner speed and absolute precision. Dukes like that, the 916 when it was first released, (and by definition the 999 since it is very similar in terms of size and layout) was stated to be based on a 250GP bike in terms of size and handling-all corner speed, he should go well.
As to whether I think he should be there and will Ducati Corse be able to handle him and his well known tantrums-that's another matter-but-they are an Italian team, and he's Italian so if anyone can sort him they should be able to.
The Camel money would be pretty handy as well I think................
