Re: Top Brit!!??!!
My moneys on Bradley.
He looked strong in Qatar and it was shame he crashed out as he was looking for his best finish so far. He did great again in Austin and came 5th. If he can maintain that pace he will probably beat Cal! I'm sure Scott will pickup over the year but his bike is not as good. |

Assuming crutchlow can beat the ducati into submission (or the engineers) he'll do well.
Neither is likely to happen. I really can't understand what ducati are doing wrong. They know full well the problem isn't with power, from what I can see (with my extremely limited knowledge) their issue is transferring the power to the track and getting round corners with good pace. If you watch the footage of crutchlow from Sunday, he looks nervous going into every corner. where everyone else is slamming their bikes into full lean, he's tipping in bit by bit. Confidence is really lacking when it comes to bike stability. |

Re: Top Brit!!??!!
As far as I know every rider back to stoner has said the same, no front end feel.
Seems to be something they just can't fix but I have no idea why. |

I believe that they tried all sorts of set ups in the closed season practice.

Re: Top Brit!!??!!
I think it go's back to that big old engine they're using. 90° engines take up a lot of room. The rest of the gp teams stopped using the years ago. But dropping it would be so against what Ducati stand for. I'd love to know what Gigi Dall'igna would do if he was allowed free reign. Suppose I already know what it would be like, its racing in WSB at the moment.
