    It looks like something that has been down the road and is waiting an insurance appraisal.

    Sorry I can’t do links but it is on the MCN website.

    Not being an expert - but the new bike looks more pointy and more red - maybe red and pointy was the look they were going for :D

    Anyway got £50 on Dovi to win the championship this year, @ 5/1 :oops:

    Bold move, but not ridiculous. Perhaps we'd both agree that Dovi might need a few cards falling his way. In his favour though, Ducati hasn't been resting on its laurels!;)

    I still think Marquez is the best rider - without a doubt. I just don't think he can do another season of 23 crashes with his injured shoulder. He has just had an operation and is going to be a bit sore for the testing and the first race at Qatar.

    Maybe Lorenzo will pick up the baton for Repsol Honda - he is certainly capable and he could gel with the Honda straight away.

    The reason for choosing the Ducati this season is because the Ducati is a powerful bike, and they have been investing in getting the other problems sorted out. Also they have invested in tyre software to analyse tyre wear and tyre choices based on software and data - they even bought a software company to do this.

    Dovizioso has been runner up two years in a row, and only fell off 5 times last year. He is experienced on the Ducati - regularly on the podium and beaten the Honda in a straight fight.

    Any weakness from Marc Marquez and Ducati will likely win. Should be an interesting season.

    True, but the Repsol looks class. These look sharp..and red..and like they've been binned already.
