Sete's duke!

Its free too, The Dukes been paid for by Dorna as it was going to be the tyre test bike before they introduced the single tyre rule. Now it is still free as a PR stunt, bringing back Sete is big news for Spain.

I hope he does well. Never been a fan of his but he won some good races against the great one back in the day...

Is it me or does Sete look like he has put on a few lbs during his year off!

Please note the correction....

The deal thrashed out with Ducati is that Sete gets a 100% 2009/GP9 and not a 2008 hand me down. Most importantly he will also get FULL factory back up and any technical bits that evolve as the season progresses.

For me this is a serious return and though I do not expect him to win any races the odd podium is I believe a real possibility.

The factory lease was paid for by Dorna too.
