Moto GP tomorrow, Valencia.

I'll admit I would love to see Dovi and Ducati take the championship win this year, but it's not very likely,

The only chance Dovi has is if Marquez comes off or breaks down. Even if Dovi wins Marquez only has to finish 11th. Game over I think.
SO WHEN DOES THIS OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER KICK IN

Only a very very slim chance for Dovi I know.
Dovi's qualifying hasn't gone well either,

Press conference quotes from Lorenzo next year: 'there are just no new parts from Ducati this year.' That will be despite a certain other Duc seeming to go perfectly well up near the front.

On the flip side, I've been delighted to see Zarco up at the front these last few races.

I think Ducati will be working on a bigger display for the text messaging dashboard system .... and perhaps some extra buttons for the Mapping adjustment as joerge couldnt work out how to activate the suggested mapping 8 :lol:

While I agree Lorenzo was holding Dovi up, or at least it seemed to look that way in the race, and he should have let Dovi pass if that's what "mapping 8" means, but Dovi said after the race Lorenzo wasn't holding him up. Dovi also pointed out they were both riding over the limit from the very start, so no real chance of catching and passing the Honda's of MM and Pedrosa, plus Zarco on the Yamaha.

Ducati are not quite there yet IMHO, the Valencia track is not a favourite for Ducati so that didn't help either, also the lack of overtaking opportunities due to the track being narrow was another problem for them.

2017 has been a fantastic year for Ducati, long may it continue,

always very funny... this is somebody doing a spoof of what Gigi said to Lorenzo after the race about the "mapping 8" problem
