lolie

hope ducati get up to speed before the season starts. anyone think the red livery is a bit orange lookin

Grim.

I'm fairly impressed with rossi's times tbh one second off on a 2 minute lap isn't much he said himself his losing 5 or 6 tenths a lap just from his shoulder alone

btw that middle pic is awesome you can see how much grip that rear tyre has

and the bike looks much better with last years fairing

Autosport

It does look very orange but hopefully it will be a great season
