Althea running Ducati or not?

Porkchop · 02-01-2013, 06:15 PM

I know this is an old video, but I haven't seen it posted around here. This was Althea's first fall test of the Panigale in race trim. Sounds great. I love about 18 or 19 seconds when he lugs the thing and it sounds like its going to shake itself apart. I've done that before...

Since then, I've seen shit all over the internet about Althea running Aprilia this year, without Carlos Checa because his salary was paid by Ducati. Giuliano does have an Althea contract, so he would run Aprilia. Kind of a weird situation...

Well.... we know one team has it together for 2013. Jesus....

The Europeans certainly ran away with it. With Aprillia leading the charge.

Somewhere out there, Brett McCormick watched Checa go down and thought to himself "Good...Dickhead"
