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

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.Get off my lawn

Ninja, I had considered that point you make regarding burn-out - a good mate of mine ended up finishing our school HSC years (final high school years) as school captain, and it was just another feather in a hugely successful life he'd lead - at that time he was already a horse dressage & show-jumping champion here in Oz and had been setting records in that field for years by the time he left school. 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.Phantom...
