I don't blame him for shopping.

Especially in the last turn after fending off 2 Ducati's for the whole race. I can't imagine how upsetting that would be.

And I have no idea what happened to him in race 2 last weekend, but if I were his Chief Tech., I'd have been on a plane before Ben made it back to the paddock.

I'm sure BMW would hire him too.

No kidding. He'd be insane on a Ducati, but I don't know if they'll have an opening next year with Haga's and Fabrizio's contracts? Do they run multi-year deals in WSBK?

That would be ideal for him.

But i'd hold on to the yami, or look for a zuk or duc ride for sure.
But like you said, i dont think duc has a spot for him just yet.
