a bike at actually looks like it fits Nicky...

that said, nicky looks huge compared to casey
 
I wonder if that carbon fiber frame will trickle down to the Desmo RR. Those bikes is purty.
 
Beautiful bikes, the carbon fiber frames fascinate me. Presumably they are hand made one-offs, and will require replacement after some crashes. Will this give Ducati an opportunity to give each rider a frame with a little extra stiffness here, a little more flex there, to suit their individual style, or maybe even tailor the frame to a particular track? Will riders have to test frames in addition to tires and all the other variables? Will carbon frames be the next big thing? Is a carbon swing arm possible?
 
Really weird seeing Nicky in red. Also interesting that he is working for Marlboro given that he is from Kentucky.

That bike looks so much better with the snubby nose. Glad to hear that they were able to get it to work with better all around. It does still look like it has a fish mouth.

I do believe that, aside from getting to see what Dovi can do on the factory bike, the Ducati team is the high point of the new season anticipation.

He's been training under Chuck Norris. No need for feeble protection when the asphalt runs away from you.
