"involves becoming a 'brand ambassador' for Ducati, including an appearance at World Ducati Week from July 1-3, plus 'a selected number of MotoGP tests for the Ducati Team next year."

Yes, I wonder if those select tests are the type that Pirro does at Mugello, Misano and Philip Island (instead of Valencia).

I am rather dubious of someone who quit because he didn't like the circus, returning as a brand ambassador for Ducati, which will be the biggest circus in the paddock.

He quit because he lost the passion to race because of the diluted 2 tier class system (CRT), the travel and his new family.

Even Ducati haven't figured out how to massage the rules to get it to win. Casey is good, but not THAT good

I guess you didn't follow World Superbikes this year.

Chaz Davies - 5x Wins, 7x 2nd and 6x 3rd to finish 2nd in the Championship spliting the 2 dominant Kawasakis of Rea and Sykes.
