Lorenzo is expected to bring a championship year one! Ducati wants a championship yesterday.
Once Lorenzo signed Dovi was the clear choice. Dovi is the new Pedrosa... sit down, shut up, don't get in of the way of Lorenzo. Iannone is not capable of that.

There was no sarcasm smiley for me to use cool.
For years we have read from media and forums alike that certain riders do not get any input into their team mates and yet in this thread, one who is generally pretty close is saying that it is so.
I am devastated that all I have been told is now proved false
And yep, to me if you have a clear #1 in the team, than to allow that person input is natural as they need to be able to work together if they are to be a team. Alternately, have two bikes run separately but even then I suspect that the factory may play favourites and thus generate a quasi pecking order.

There is your answer. Today was the perfect example. Has the fastest bike on the grid and he ..... his pants falling back to 11th on the start. Its mental, he just cant put it all together and close the deal
Fully aware that it is a business decision but just recently we have seen some posters saying that JL chose Dovi or at least had significant input when those posters in years past 'may' have taken the opposite view and claimed that it does not happen when the comments were directed that another rider had input in the choice of their team mate.
