Exactly, the Duke is the toughest of the competitve 3 to ride, and if you take Capirossi`s achivements out of the picture, ducati aren`t that much betther than Suzuki or Kawasaki. And this is gibber`s first year on stones, isn`t it? All that aside, I do think Sete is past his prime, sadly. He`s a good rider, but he dosen`t have the mental strength, and he`s not getting any younger, combine this with moving to a tougher bike with worse tyres, an onslaught of both really talented rookies and younger guys l.ike Melandri and Hayden, then of course, there`s Rossi, Sete`s chances don`t look good. But the guy was fast in his time. With a little more balls and a lot more luck, he could have made last season shape up very differently.
