Audi needs to invest a major R&D cash dump for Ducati to get things together with Rossi and Nicky. Duc is just slow moving with chassis/susp redesign, and believe they're still on the old frame aren't they? At least thats what was said by Ralph Malph and The Kentuckian. Ben will probably go back to pilot a WSB in which he has had a lot of offers for, not sure which team he'll choose out of those asking for him. Props to the man for racing with a broken heel, and at least his 2nd highside of the weekend was softer than during qualifying. Just no match for the Repsol riders and LorenTHO:nono: Loved Stoner robbing the pole from Jorge. Hate that silky smooth little Spaniard! Was great until he got it back a lap later, but no matter since Casey had him covered the whole race. The soft rear tire choice was definitely finding the missing link for the Honda win. Stoner was pissed about losing the pole due to CRT qualifying traffic, but thats the game and its the same for the whole field.
