Ducatis decade long drought.

#1 Post by Questo vecchio rz » Sat Aug 13, 2016 2:19 pm

The Red Bull Ring, might get the monkey off Ducatis back,Ducati is pushing almost 8 long years since a Ducati has even won a race, and a entire decade since Stoners championship. The bikes for 2016 certainlly are not short on power, and this track appears to suit the point & shoot 260 h.p. missile machines.
With Crazy Joe the "Manaic" on pole position, a new racetrack that has been deemed dangerous & unsafe for Moto GP bikes, even with last min emergency track alterations..it just could prove to be one hair raising, spine tingling race. Its a Ducati "Rossi sandwich" on the front row followed by Lorenzo & Marquez, all seperated within 5/10s.

Spoiler..so stop reading.
Expected result, but just another snoozefest Zzzzzzz. The. The factory Ducs were unbeatable, Marquez dwslung w a dislicated shoulder came in where he needed to stay ahead on points. Lorenzo( unfortunatly)..lol once again proved when hes on equal machinery to Rossi, he can beat Rossi more often than not. Ill tell you what though, that raceteack mughr be the best looking track in the world, Looks like a luxury resort. In America we can only dream about a racetrack like that. Add the Red Bull ring to my bucket list.
