ducati worried?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Babelfish @ Mar 17 2010, 10:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Yeah, there's nothing Dorna would love more than Ducati pulling out of MotoGP

Worst case this year could become an all Yamaha podium, let's hope Ducati still have some speed in that thing and that Honda can sort things out.
It would be nice to see a suzuki on the podium as well.

The nine time world champion, who is wildly famous for and extremely successful at mind games- being outplayed by a very inconsistent, 4 th placed challenger who is not known for being successful at any mental warfare whatsoever ( in fact the opposite)..........

Some continue to push the boundaries of fanboy delusions ever further than was ever thought possible

Maybe it's just the prelude to another year of excuses


Seriously dude, you are a ....... sometimes !!!

Same can be said about you as well.

Not just Rossis pace.

I think Yamaha,s pace is scary. Unless the other manufacturers improve their bikes rapidly, Yamaha could dominate a few podiums this year. Assuming some misadventure to Stoner and Pedrosa, a Yamaha 1-2-3 is quite possible. When was the last time that happened?

Has it ever happened? I wonder what the odds for that might be?

I think I had better get a bet on really fast if I can............
