...I think Rossi will sort the Ducati out and will come back swinging.
Not in this lifetime
- well at least the lifetime of this Ducati chassis
.
and he still managed to keep it upright (whilst many others failed,on better bikes).
What!!!!
a minute and four seconds behind - and Casey probably could have put another 20-40 seconds on to that if he had been pushed
.
Rossi wasn't even trying
. Either he's had a collapse of morale or he is 'punishing' Ducati trying to spur or embarrass them in to some drastic action. He's team mate was 38 seconds in front of him. The same team mate he has regularly being beating up until now.
Vale only got 6th because ballsier riders fell over pushing hard (smart move for the conditions or not is another thing
)
