Oh it will turn.. once Ducati sort that bloody commuter bike out for VR!!

It looked almost pedestrian coming up towards the finish line today and thats after all the improvements to it! Ducati, the great bastion of great red racing bikes, cant cut it in the modern race world as easily as they maybe used to.
