a) Suppo took the position that with Ducati (not unlike HRC) it's about Ducati, not the riders, and with Rossi, he's the center of attention.
b) While Stoner has significantly redeemed himself, he has left the impression, however temporary, that he might not be relied on in a crunch. At the end of 2010, Stoner and Rossi'd current contracts are up, and it will be interesting to see which direction both Yamaha and Ducati take come contract time.
c) If Rossi and Burgess jump, it will be for more than a single season.
