Melandri to replace Hopkins for next two races
Discussion
well the sword has been raised
stated Filippo Preziosi.
`It is always a pleasure to work with an experienced rider like Sete and his feedback will undoubtedly help us. His comments are very similar to those made by Casey and Vittoriano (Guareschi) and this confirms that we are proceeding in the right direction.
We will evaluate with him whether there can be other opportunities for him to work with us on track with our bikes. He has certainly demonstrated that he is still able to ride very fast.´
`I hope that this result will also spur on Marco (Melandri) and Toni (Elias).

Ducati have confrmed that Melandri will still ride at Sachsenring and Laguna.
Then I think there will be a split in the summer and either Gibernau or Canepa will take the ride.
Canepa would be much cheaper, but doesn't have the race experience. Where as Gibernau will get them points.
Gibernau has lapped Mugello within 0.5 secs of Stoners fastest lap on race tyres, so is proving the bike is able to do it in the hands of someone ele other than Stoner.

Dream race result once this has all come together:
Gibers wins.
Marco (on a Kwak) comes second
Rossi third...
Would be awesome if someone else could run at Stoners pace. Even if both Red machines run off into the distance, I couldn't see Gibbers letting Stoner passed* so could make some good TV

- He might this season but not next season when he starts at the beginning.
