thanks for the heads up.
im glad they are keeping the same config the m1 handles nicely... with ducati i think it will be a hit or miss we know how it revs and vibrates i wonder how it will be with tyres and chatter over race distance?

I was really hoping they would use a carbon fibre frame... to help eliminate the threat of Pedrosa
Maybe the carbon chassis will be a huge advantage to ducati because of the lack of tyres.
Less tyres surely means less adjustments ?

because that advantage only helps 1 rider, not much use to the other 4 they will have in 2009.

Not really, they have Lorenzo, which will make factory Yamaha, not only the best machine, but rider combo out there.

Less tires means more adjustments. You have to adjust the bike to the track AND the tires.
