    Ducatis problems are fundamental. the engine. Its highest rotating mass is in the wrong place. Its not loading the tyres the way the tyres should be loaded. If they scrapped the one make tyre , expect ducati to improve. The move from the trellis frame to the cf frame was due to the inconsistent flex , solved by an outside supplier
    they need to ditch the engine or the v angle move the rotational cog in the same or similar plane at the axils with a front weight bias
    ie not a traditional ducati imho

    A few thoughts from Casey on the RC213V and RCV1000R...

    Edit: Another article (same press release), but with a couple of pics of Casey putting the hammer down...

    The engine is the one constant through the entire time Ducati have had problems. They've changed everything except the engine and they've still got the same problems they had.

    It's a management problem. Management don't want to change the engine so the bike continues to be a problem to ride. I thought they'd sort shit out when Preziosi got shunted sideways but the new management don't seem to want to change the engine either.

    Come on now Gaz. You're only getting so worked up because your man has been shown to be what he is. Over rated and over.

    Hope he twigs to the fact that he can no longer go the extra yard before too long. The main issue here is that as a team-mate, he has been totally ineffective at robbing points off the Honda riders to assist in Lorenzo's title tilt, a fact that has not gone unnoticed by Jarvis in his pitroad interview at Silverstone.
    Personally I thought he should have fessed up to it and packed it in at the end of 2011, and if the trend continues his legacy will be further tarnished and he will be remembered as no ,more than an avaricious has-been, rather than as the frequently-professed GOAT. But while ever there's access to an inflated pay packet, and Dorna have no secondary marketing strategy, I suppose he'll continue to ride around at a fair clip, occupy a seat that would be better inhabited by a young up-and-comer, and pick up the $$$.
    Sigh.

    maybe VR should go to tech 3 and then have more freedom to set the Yamaha up how he wants...(or who ever is getting the "production' Yamaha)

    hang on ,he is finishing fourth...if the hondas have a problem he will beat them,thats his job.I also think that it is reasonable to give him a year to come to grips with things again.Who would you have on the bike in his place?

    It is sad to see, as he certainly is/was one of the very best ever. But he reminds me of a punch drunk boxer now that should hang up his gloves.
