I say .... Ducati, they have dragged their feet and treated their employees like .... for to long. I would rather see Gigi stay at Aprillia, Piaggio get the .... scared out of them and give more funds so Aprillia can over the next couple of year enter as a factory prototype team. It hurts me a little to feel like that because i of course would love to see Cal on a championship capable winning bike. Unless Ducati have a new attitude under Audi ownership i fully expect them to ruin both cal's and Gigi careers.

Hurts me to say it as a Ducati fan for several decades, but I think you are correct.
It has been reported that one of the factors for Dall'Igna was that Aprilia weren't prepared to mount a full factory motogp challenge. If he by some chance can retrieve Ducati's fortunes it would at least mean more than 4 bikes/riders could win any given race, which would be a positive.
I think he is probably aware of the threat to his career, which is why he held out for more control and presumably cubic dollars.

Gigi will turn this around imo, as long as they do what he says, and it looks like they will, this is going to be a very exiting time watching them at last go in the right direction, sad for Cal next year, but should be on it in 2015.
