They reckon that they haven't appproached Valentino and its just some Italian journo making up stories.

Pretty sure they said they were keen to have a crack at Vale, they just haven't approached him yet. If that fell through then Dovizioso is their next target along with Bautista.

Polite reminder: all Westy posts in the Westy thread please
It's quite a popular one, so will often be near the top of the forum...

If it was as simple as wanting good race results Ducati would have been running Troy on the #2 factory machine..... but its all about marketability nowadays so they need their Italian quota!
Maybe they should consider running a third factory bike with another non italian rider to aid development. I wonder how McCoy would go on the GP8

The Italians will love Italian manufacturers no matter or is the rider. Ferrari hardly have a lack of support in F1 and I can't remember the last time an Italian drove for them (because I can't really bothered to try).
I also reckon that someone like Bayliss would be a hit with anyone as long as he's doing well
You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

Ducati has already had a crack at it with Troy in MotoGP and they gave him the flick!!
But I still reckon he could do much better then KC on that bike..

And they did so incorrectly in my opinion. He would have been much better than Checa or Gibernau on the 990 I think but I don't think he would be really suited to the new 800 like Stoner. Originally Posted by Roby44

Troy is The Best!!
You wouldn't have been refering to that "other" rider as The Best would you!!!

Troy is a gun but Stoner is better (now).
