True Mobus, it'll almost be a ducati cup in there - it is this year too I guess. But they'll get better, takes a long time to develop a bike, and they have had to throw out their usual method / ideologies, trying to copy a japanese bike, but anyway, they'll get there, ducati is a heart and soul of motorbike racing, they'll be back, just dont know when.
Its a good move for Spies, he'll still have fun and he knows he should be in GP, not SBK. He'll be at the back, but thats alright. Not sure it will kill his career as it may appear. He wants to hang and make some more cash anyway for his burger joint investment. Its all pretty wierd though, not sure if Rossi would have returned to yamaha if Spies didnt jump, I dont think it was that rosy between rossi and yamnaha.
But its all worked out quite well really, all the best riders on the better bikes, first time in a while. It was a tragedy for the sport having Rossi lingering while stoner was hot - true tragedy, that would have been brilliant, but will never be. DePuniet should feel a little ripped off though. He's a better rider than CRT world. Thats all I'd complain about really for next year.
