Default Ducati go bye bye from WSBK
Ducati hints regulations affected pull-out decision | WSBK News | Aug 2010 | Crash.Net

“Recently the Superbike World Championship, according to the current regulations, has been interpreted as moving more towards competition between prototypes rather than for bikes derived from production machines. This has led to an increase in costs, both for the manufacturers and the teams participating in the championship."



Yea uhm, Im sure dumping 9 million more into Rossi than Yami offered didnt put any pressure on the team.


Good Riddence to the cheater Engine.

In this case, yet again, sensible equivalance formulas that have a rational basis in engine design factors that you apparently cannot grasp.

Oh you mean the money that could have been spent to compete in WSBK instead spent on the 15million dollar (7 million over the next highest offer) for ben spies? Or the fact they had a poor performance this year, which historically when Ducati does not perform well, they always throw out some kind of BS excuse.
lol but hey, please continue on.


Oh btw oh smart one, I had a Hybrid Car designed in highschool. Ya, I guess those engines just escape me yuk yuk.

Wait what? Was that supposed to make any sense? What does Ben Spies salary have to do with Ducati?
