    I would have thought that that if Rossi had included him in the deal with Ducati (As he did in his last move) the decision would have been made then and then.
    Agreed. The decision will certainly have already been made, just can't understand why it's not common knowledge. Unless Ducati are still negotiating the financial side with him. Who knows.

    Well you might as well. It's not like there is anything to lose but I read somewhere that he used to do kick boxing so blows to the head might not affect him any more...

    Personally son, I'd be a little more concerned with the blows he can dish out. Having been kicked behind the left ear by him once at a party, I can assure you it aint pleasant. And we were only playing!

    LOL nice to know he can get his toes behind your ears ! Pfft.

    But back to news, I think Laverty has signed to be Melandri team mate.

    Yip Laverty has signed as his teammate for 2011 and funny that Melandri was meant to be going BMW and Laverty was all Moto2 earlier this year

    When I was a lad ( Colin Meads was still an All Black ) playing rugby I somehow managed to come out of the first ruck of every game with a blood nose - wasn't until I much latter I found out the captain/coach thought I played better after seeing some of my blood on my sleeve and HE gave me a smack in the nose first ruck of every game -

    I never contemplated "chatting" to him about it - he was really big and a double hard bastard - It had no benefit and I wouldn't recommend it as a motivational technique.

    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    I imagine German Max will lose his ride at Ten Kate SBK next year. He has been nowhere this year. It has only been Jonny Rea.

    The experts see a future in Crutchlow, maybe they should give Rea a chance, I enjoy watching him. G.

    Would seem a good move. He's done well with a package that has been better in past years. He has a good temperament too.
