-When the one-tyre rule came through, the Big Four bolted. Without Ducati we wouldn't have a World Superbike Championship now. You can never forget the people who got you where you are - in any walk of life - that's a basic rule.

Sometimes to improve you need to move away from the people that hold you back, even if it appears you need them!

It would be a great shame to lose Ducati but a greater shame to lose the other manufacturers because one manufacturer hijacks a series (again).
