They are no doubt more interesting. Makes us realize what genius these engineers and riders are.. The last paragraph was another interesting read on a different level

On a serious note, why didn't Rossi and JB raise this tyre issue earlier?

May be they wanted to use it as an excuse for not winning the Championship. ;-)

Cal Crutchlow Pens Two-Year Deal With Ducati | MotoMatters.com | Kropotkin Thinks

Emmett is skeptical about Ducati's performance in the future. Well, money certainly talks and that's why he is there.

Re: MotoGP 2013 Season - Updates

Cal is in that point in his career where he needs to make those difficult decisions keeping both money and security in mind.
I was expecting him to except a years deal only so that if incase he wants to switch, he has that option in 2015, when all the top riders are out of contract.
But since he's accepted a 2 year contract he'll be in the same situation after 2 years again, when non of the top rides would be available and he'll either have to stick to the misery of Ducati or tack another risky jump on a satellite or those "non-factory" rides as they will be called next year.
