He ruled out any speculation of returning back to motogp, but rather if the opportunity came for him to do the test he would be happy to see it is positive for Melandri.
Giving someone offer of help are deemed generosity.

MCN reports that Marco may be trying to buy himself out of his 2 year contract. Just how bad is the 08 Duke?

Unless the equipment is great (Honda), Marco has taken time to come to grips with his machinery in the premier class.
Obviously the Duc is unique and suited to the Stoner riding style (even tho Loris developed the 07 bike for himself - lets not forget that).
There are currently some inherent issues.
Perhaps Ant West's mediocrity is looking too good to be true right about now?

MotoGP Matters is reporting on some wild rummors.
To summarize Marco to defect to Kawasaki after China and Ant to head to Superbikes. Sounds like pure rummor but with perhaps a possibility.go speed racer go

ducati are committed to helping marco, not replacing him. besides, what would it cost him to leave?mmmmm, makes a nice sandwich. a nice sandwich.
M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
