No one can know that until the first test of next season. I wonder if Cal has seen the bike and that swayed him.

Other than that shut up MCN.

He's dug himself a 2yr foxhole, if he keeps his trap shut a little more on occasion and tries to make the best of it, he may even get a chance with another manufacturer in a years time. They all know what a pile of poo that bike is and judge his performances accordingly, if he can get to the bottom of going fast round corners whilst staying on his bike he'll be fine.

Everything will change dramatically in 2016 and Ducati may well have a little head start having used the spec ECU already.

I hope so Duke I really do but TBH I'm not convinced and I say that disappointingly as I really want them to return to their rightful place challenging for wins as their heritage and history is heavily based on racing success.

I was hoping the late change to Open Class would have given them a boost but so far I haven't see anything to confirm this unfortunately.
