The Ducati is a basket case of a bike....it's a testament to Stacy Moaner's skill that he was able to win races on it. Don't expect much from Rossi at Jerez.
Provided that Moaner comes to grips with the fact that he doesn't HAVE to ride right at the limit all the time to win, he'll likely be the man to beat this season. Having said that, though....he hasn't figured that out in his entire career....He chucks it down the tarmac FAR too often for a rider of his experience and talent level.
Honestly, though....I'm far more excited about the prospect of watching a full 38 bike grid take to the tight and twisty Jerez circuit on spec bikes in Moto2...THAT is racing!!
Andrea Iannone....write it down...that kid has a future!
