Dunno, maybe I'm being jingoistic but given the guy missed out on
rookie of the year last year by about 3 points from memory (and to
Haydon who was riding the make who have won what, 10 of the last 12 ?)
and considering Capirossi was having trouble finishing ahead of Xaus
and Hodgson on last year's bikes this year, I think Ducati are being
pretty harsh.
I guess with serious money at stake you get that, seems like Kawasaki
all over again though (what part of the bike was crap were they having
problems with ?).
Both Ducati and Kwaka have lifted their game in the second half of
this year and funnily enough Capirossi and Bayliss' results are
showing that (as the unchanged riders), I'm really not convinced that
Nakano is that much better a rider than McCoy and Pitt - given that
the first 5 races he was coming in at the same numbers the latter 2
were doing.
