How about Spies! What shitty luck on the start, judging by the lap times he'd be duking it out with Stoner for first. Great to see him on the podium in the US!

Its a crying shame what Ducati's development team have saddled Rossi and Nicky with. My two favorite riders on Ducs but its been such a letdown. Here's hoping the big bikes next year will turn the tables, but damned if its just the motors. Everything seems a few steps behind honda.

The track looked ridiculous, the marbles just outside the line might as well have been oil slicks. That would be terrifying to ride at speed, let alone ride through them to pass like Rossi did at one point. Of the two US tracks Laguna is far superior, more fun, more passing.

 

Ducati needs to ditch the carbon frame.
