i feel sorry for him, it must be humiliating for him walking about the paddock knowing everyone has got bets on when he's getting fired.
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>Marco Melandri was sitting in front of me in the Ducati Marlboro pitbox, his leathers tattered and muddied after his tenth-lap crash from a fighting seventh position in the German Grand Prix.

It was a time to be delicate with a rider's sensibilities, but I said:

"Will you finish the year with Ducati, or will you stop after Laguna Seca?"

"Of course I hope to continue for the rest of the season!" he replied. "I felt really confident today."

I saw this today and I just passed it along as being taken out of context. I think that he would have liked to have stayed at Ducati, of course. HOWEVER its not working out so they are parting ways.

It still is very sad. Everytime I see him try and look happy, he just really isn't. I hope he comes back and does well just stay away from that Killasaki
 
Is it possible he meant stay until the end of the season? Being said that they are to part ways after Laguna?

This pic tells you of how he feels and I am sorry to see him like this...
He really deserves in the front row.

He's really going to have to pull something pretty spectacular to stay there.

Tell me about it. I thought that this would be his chance to finally show his talent and drive to win and contest the title. Big shame I wish him well.
