[Ducati] Motogp spoiler

[Ronald Betts]

Great racing Peter. Have to thank Speed for all the coverage we got this 
week end. I think Stoner has figured out how to ruffle Rossi's feathers and 
He definatly has no fear of the man. Caprix was brilliant and so was Barros. 
Shaping up to be a great season.



Peace...Ron"Desmohead"Betts 95 900 SP
I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it!
