He might even take a break from the end of the season to heal himself and get ready for the next season. And Pedrosa, well he is still to get comfy on his new bridgestones and the Pneumatic Honda.

Yup I agree. Strategically they wouldn't go for it this season unless Stoner and the team have real ego problems .
As Leon said they would want to collect as much data as possible so that they can do better in the next season.

Nicky Hayden and Ducati, looks like a nice combination
