No, 44 is too old .. :)
Bayliss won on the last race two years ago, he is only 39. Sorry my short memory :)
..and it was on a big old 990, not one of these PCs on wheels.
There is absolutly no reason why they would need to lie if indeed ducati and casey have split (and it wouldnt work anyway as we would find out sooner or later) and I cant think of a reason why they want to either. Casey provides them with the only success in recent times and Duc given Casey the bike to keep winning races and chapionships.....one would be crazy to let the other go.
Not everything is a conspiricy you know
As we say in oz.... I call b***s***
Crikey I'm an antique then!! :DQuote:

It's hard to know what effect this illness and medical advice would have on his psyche.
Hopefully for his sake he can get back to full fitness and for our sake, back to championship battling form.
we dont know - the burnout could be what exacerbate this illness - however like I said before i think its all talk myself as you can tell he wasnt well for months now. Hopefully the break is enough for his health to recover but I am not convinced - especally if one school of thought is that the illlness is indeed Chronic Fatigue or a form of it is true.Quote:

However, despite his obvious abilities, it was largely the pressure of his parents which had pushed him to these levels, and eventually it ended in a melt-down.
Worth noting that he came back from that with his drive to succeed intact, but now with a deeper understanding of himself and his motivation. Hopefully the 'more to the story' side of things that is alway present is not too serious for Casey to overcome, and we'll see him back taking that Duc by the scruff of its neck for a few years to come.
yeah, antique is ancient... :)Quote:
