Oh mate. You've looked lost in the last two races. You seem to have no fight in you.

And in related news, everyone else agrees it IS over.

He's going through the motions is all it seems.

My "you were saying" is to the quotes from Lorenzo.

His title defence is over.

Doesn't take much to change things. IIRC he lost his way in the middle of last season too and recovered well at the end to win the Championship.

Lots of races to go.

I don;'t think he's got the mind set for it this year. At least last year he had some fight in him.

Yeah....I think when he's "on it" he is hard to beat (obviously)....but it always seems like his motivation is on a knife-edge.

Sink or swim....but no natural flotation.

Soars like an eagle, then dives like The Hindenburg.

Climbs like a...oh, nevermind...

Apparently he is no longer getting the same new parts as Rossi now he is defecting.

Redding also said all the Ducati changes and investment are now geared towards making a bike for Lorenzo.

But that shouldn't explain why he's so far down the field. Ducati must be wondering what they've let themselves in for.
