cal to ducati?
Rumour has it that Cal Crutchlow is going to sign for ducati in the next fortnight, looks like his dreams of being motogp champion or evening winning a race have just ended!

I can't see Cal getting a factory yamaha spot, lets be honest the name Rossi sells bikes. Don't get me wrong I think Cal deserves the factory yamaha spot I just can't see him getting one unless Yamaha do a Honda and run a three man team.
Whatever happens he should steer clear of Ducati, just because it's a factory ride doesn't mean it's a promotion, just look at the championship standings.
Oh a side note, hats off to Aprilia for their CRT machine (even though the whole CRT idea should be scrapped)

Pass me a hammer, a spanner and a cuppa
I hope I'm totally wrong, but seems like he's doing it just for the pay cheque and TBH I'd do the same as you're a long time retired in racing and better to have a few mill in the bank than still be trying to get competitive rides in bsb when you're 40+.
I'd rather yamaha give him some support.. i also think that he should have asked his agent to approach yamaha direct and ask what was going on then seek their permission to find other rides....the japanese value integrity honour and respect if Cal's done this on the QT i doubt he'll ride for any japanese manufacturer again.

I have a one word counter-argument for the need for this honourable approach and the possibility of riding for them again ................robbier6 wrote: i also think that he should have asked his agent to approach yamaha direct and ask what was going on then seek their permission to find other rides....the japanese value integrity honour and respect if Cal's done this on the QT i doubt he'll ride for any japanese manufacturer again.
......... Rossi.
I rest my case.
Besides I think that Herve has been kept in the loop and I expect Lin Jarvis knows the score too.
