Which just goes to show you have as much taste in leathers as you do in nail varnish ;)

I like 'em!

I think the Rossi and Duc will be a brutal force to deal with as he's taking 7years of technology and thinking from Yamaha.

He looked tentative on tuseday but that was looked like an engine test and Loris was the same didn't push the limits of the duc.

The 2011 test is the one to watch he'll be at full bore. The VR46 Leathers are cracking along with the ? lid

The Ducati being in black livery at this point is all down to the deal thrashed out with Yamaha for letting him test the Italian bike before his contract expires with them,(end of calender year not race year.)

Rossi cannot until after 31st December speak to any media regarding the Ducati.

He is going to be trying to decide whether to run a big bang engine,(like Casey did) or a screamer. I think some tweaks to the minimalistic carbon sub frame cannot be entirely ruled out either.

Will probably take the man a year to tune the bike to his liking....the next year, im pretty sure he will win....seeing as Lorenzo wont have Rossi's input on the bike in the paddocks.

Considering how Rossi turned a non winning bike in to a winner immediately,(when he switched from HRC to Yamaha) I doubt very much that it will take a full season to see him turn the Ducati in to a regular winner once again. Of course riders on other machines will also be extremely competitive in 2011 and so Rossi will not have a walk in the park by any stretch of the imagination.

Apparently he came off the test, said that he couldn't ride it like it was and tolf the team to go around and re-design the frame.

the Honda is a handling Scud missile compared to the Duc.
If he stays on (the bike) Lorenzo will have a serious 0% BS challenger

Just repeating what my friend from Ducatti told me.
