Actually, always talking about Ducati... it might be to annoy KC. And I imagine it would... perhaps this is one of his first strikes in the battle of the words that KC is obviously been keen for... Ha! Stick it to em, Valentino!
I don't care which bike he's on... with his skill, it's irrelevant. He makes them all sing. But to win... I don't care either... as long as he's able to compete... the yam on bridgestones might get it done... who knows?
I don't think he'd be a sore loser if he changed from yamaha without winning first. It would be sweet if he did win the WC with them... but he's not a rider out there just filling the ranks. He's out there to win. What's the point of wasting time with a manufacturer that doesn't share that burning ambition? Why bother putting your body on the line every week end? He loves riding bikes, but it isn't just for fun. The fun is the icing on the cake. And he deserves to leave the sport at the total top. Nothing less would do him justice. And his records have to be kept intact. And added to. They're getting shot down at the moment, and that sucks. So if Duacti can help him get it done, so be it.
