This is heavy!! With Ducati's Stoner joining Honda and Rossi joining Ducati.... Yamaha is left with Lorenzo and Ben.

2011 MotoGP is already a big bang!! It would very very interesting to see Rossi wacking the Descmocedici which he has managed to shadow off on his M1 till now

he tried associating with ducati earlier but yamaha paid in excess of 12 million $$

**vrathor** · 08-16-2010, 01:46 PM

All hail Vale !

This guy is going to do same magic for Ducati, that he did for Yamaha.
With the barrage of motogp experience, he can contribute much more than just riding. I'm sure he will be catalyst for the decisive changes in bike itself, which 'may' make it a winner.

I want to quote Ducati Course General Director here, "Working with Valentino is one of the most exciting things for every engineer...". (from motogp website news Rossi to ride for Ducati in 2011 | The Official MotoGP Website )
So along with Vale, what Team Ducati looking forward is, his knowledge of motogp bikes that they will exploit to the fullest.

Hope to see some fireworks next year!!!

So here it come....wooo....bigger than anything... I bet this Ros-Duc combination would be as big as the Micheal-Ferrari thing (or may be bigger than that!!!)
WOW...great news

EDIT:

A Ducati statement read: "The arrival of Valentino in Ducati opens a new and exciting chapter in the Italian factory's sporting history and, indeed, of the whole MotoGP Championship."

of course it will be a new chapter in Ducati's history

**felix.ragav** · 08-16-2010, 03:01 PM
