Good or Bad move ?
Me thinks Bad

Crutchlow may be one rider who could tame the pig.

BTW, this is the real Honey Badger.

Hello money, goodbye Front row and Rostrum.

Good or bad,, money talks,,just hope he doesn't get hurt trying to make a winner out of it,,,,,,

I reckon Scott Redding is the bloke to wrestle the Ducati into shape. . Could prove interesting if Redding ends up on the Pramac Ducati.
2 Brits on the same bike.

Six full factory rides, just one available for next year and he got it. Result

Two years of that and he can do whatever he likes. If the results are poor everyone will blame the bike, if they come good everyone will cheer the man. Win win from my perspective, good for him and good luck next year.

Fearless predictions:

Top finish: 4th
Number of times he beats Dovi: 3
Months in to the season before he says that Ducati need to start from scratch: 2
Number of lifetimes he is now set for: 1
Number of podiums for the next 2 years: 0

German funded race team WILL get better. Audi won't want crap publicity with all that investment. If nothing else now BMW are out of WSB Audi have a great chance to out result their rivals

The Ducatis can be ridden and can win a MotoGP. Stoner and Bayliss proved this. They just need to be taken by the scruff of the neck and shown whose boss. Cal is just the right sort of aggressive rider to make the thing work, just like Stoner did.

With Audi throwing in more money, and a couple of podium hungry riders on board, I'm predicting a lot of podiums for Ducati next year.

FYI Bayliss lone MotoGP win was 2006.
