"Both Ducati riders have made it clear that the Ducati engine is producing so much power, that it is in fact a deficit when trying to get the best handling out of the bike."

New engine and chassis due for Laguna Seca GP

Hopefully one with less power

In fairness, outright power is one thing, power delivery is another.

I just thought that was a classic Italian comment.

Although I also don't see the Duke, pulling out and passing Hondas and Yamahas down the straights.

If Rossi is worth 12 mil a year, Casey must be worth 24 Mil a year to go back.
