if the alu headstock is a clear improvement, I can't see why Nicky would not also get it. That would by a BS move. If it becomes the case, I'd hope that Nicky gives them a piece of his mind.

Nicky who?

 

[Old Baldy]

Ouch!

Rossi is the new Nicky. The old Nicky is waiting for the 1000's to come back.

The way I read it is they can make changes faster and try more options using aluminum. Faster turn around. Not saying I agree, just saying that's what I thought was said in the interview. I would like to see Nicky on the same equipment as I like to see him take it to Rossi.

I would like to see Nicky outpace Rossi with the old "new" bike...

Thats a big "if"... its not a clear improvement... Rossi is 8 frames
behind development... Ducati is a small company that thinks small and
Nicky knows this...

Ducati is a small company that thinks small and

an amazing opinion.

Sucks if Hayden doesn't get it for a bit, but remember who's input developing it. Best case scenario is that Rossi and Ducati are slowly developing a bike that's able to be a better bike across the board for both factory riders alike. Then next year they start stronger.

Also, I was cruising youtube and found this interview
