I believe I read that they use an older style head without pneumatic valvesprings?

Never gonna happen but how cool would it be if they got doohan out of retirement?

In related news there's a shitstorm of rumors flying around the wsb xerox ducati team right now. Things could get REEEAL interesting in a couple months.

Dorna has said that Fiat Yamaha could leave the seat empty for another two races before they had to put someone on it. That said it would sure hurt yamaha in the manufacturers points if they write off one bike for three events, four if who they put on the seat can't adjust quick enough to score...

I was reading a blog where the guy said that its injuries like this that end careers, not because the guy wont be able to ride anymore, but because he wont be able to ride like before

Rossis face says a thousand words

It's crazy how one second your tires are gripping fine and the next second you're flying through the air......literally.
