Have seen some stories doing the rounds that Hector will again be riding the factory Ducati at Phillip Island with Mad Mike remaining in place as Hector's replacement at Avintia.
Rumours indicate that Ianonne has some fences to mend ...............
Avintia will be fielding two Desmosedici GP17's next year. Looks like Ducati must be interested in beating down the satellite Honda and Yamaha squads. Sadly this will mean the end of Loris Baz since they want to field a line-up of Espargaro and Barbera. Not keen on them signing Pol who I think...
If all the Jap going for Aluminum frame why this Spanish team Avintia Racing going for other direction i.e. Carbon Fiber/Aluminum Frame which is less rigid compare to the former..
From most discussion/forums they blame CF Frame for Ducati failure..
