Give your thoughts and opinions

Answer 1

The smart money is on Nicky for red next year.

As for my good friend Mr G's comments on Silvan ........ stranger things have happened, after all Rossi joined Yamaha & that was not a bad move!!

Silvan knows the bike and the team, he could bring some of his own crew along, knows the tyres ....... I might go 20% on Silvan, but still saying 80% Nicky.

Answer 2

I hope Nayden goes, he is my favorite rider, and the support Ducati gives is unmatched.  SG would be a good fit too.

Answer 3

Wise money is on Hayden but I'd love too see Ducati take a gamble on Silvan Guintoli, I think they would go well together

Answer 4

Sete Gibernau

Answer 5

Didn't Steve Parrish and co on last Sundays BBCs coverage of the Moto GP, say that Nicky Hayden was signing for Ducati ? I can't see anyone else other than Stoner being able to ride their bikes well.
