      I don't think that Ducatis are more competitive. It is just that in the wet, you are not riding on the edge of the tyre, the weak point of the Ducati. And the riders know that this is they best chance for a decent result, so they put in an extra bit of effort. My opinion of course

        Just noticed incase anyone didn't know like me-Bautista still uses Nissin and not Brembo like most.
        Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

            Yesterday he was wearing the T-shirt of the same print. He posted the pic on twitter. I'm sure there are a ton of Japanese people who will find it racist and offensive :P

                Fantastic Talent, and America's big hope for the world stage. Sad to see him retire with a injury

                  That would be a million dollar question. When asked to Ducati riders last year-Nicky and Rossi, they simple said:
                  "We don't know." But the confidence with with the factory Ducati men can throw the bike around in the wet is plain to see.

                    Nicky has something to add, "In the wet we don’t have the same problems we have in the dry, the turning, the chatter, the wheelies they disappear and our bike works really well in the wet.”

                      Was just about to post this.
                      I think it was In germany, it rained, and we(most of us ) thought Rossi would do well. But then, the track requires so much edge grip........

                      Regarding photo, Can Yamaha point this and have marquez DQ for a race?? (Kiddin..........)

                        Seriously..that's a point to be considered. I bet this might have started running the gears in Yamaha's mind...lol
