Well spotted YMVirt :thumbup:

I'm not really surprised with all the talk that had been doing the rounds. Not exactly a factory ride with this new team, but Cal probably thinks he'd better jump ship now while he still has options. I hope he does well with the new team,

I think it's his best move. If he can get the results he had at Tech 3 he'll put himself on the menu for the factories, one of the Spaniards must f**k off soon surely!!!! :lol:

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

You've also got to remember though, yes he can't ride the Ducati properly.. But he's had so many issues he's been unable to finish the vast majority of races this year cause the bike is breaking. It's not going to inspire confidence, or give him the proper practice on it that he needs

I agree Virt, Cal's not had much luck this season, plus this year really is a learning year with the Ducati team. He can't expect to be up with Dovi right away,
