Oh agreed, the Ducati has been more reliable than the Yamaha keeping Haga in the points lead and Fabrizio a very close 3rd. Haga is a great rider and he is doing more with a less capable machine.

hes also a lot smarter in that hes not crashing out as much as he did in his younger days. He did some crazy/exciting racing but wound up on his ass a lot too.

wasnt aware of that episode. Actually read an independant journalist review of the cube yesterday that made me kind of sad they never produced their triple. guy said it was smooth as silk up to 10000 and then went completely banannas. Also said the reversed crank made the bike corner harder the more throttle you fed in. Thing sounded like a blast
