[Ducati] moto gp spoiler

[Peter Bonner]

Right you are Alec!

Stoner had a record 17 crashes last year, more than anybody. Being cautious
about Stoner's beginnings was natural, based on his history. Then of course,
it was obvious that the bike and tyres were the best out there. But mostly
it was a growing point that Casey had undergone some sort of transformation
as a result of joining the Ducati family. Would Stoner have succeeded had he
gone to Repsol Honda? Fiat Yamaha?  Probably not. But he is doing great
right where he is, and with Melandri to come next year, Ducati is looking
solid for the future. At any rate, not enough makings for humble pie for
anyone yet.

Well, Phil, early on everyone had concerns about Casey crashing - maybe you
did too? - but he quickly dispelled that notion with good riding.

Humble pie is usually deserved when there is gloating or bragging followed
by ignominious, or maybe even well fought, defeat and I don't remember
anyone bragging on any of the Americans.  I know we thought and hoped they
would do well and certainly Nicky was expected to do well, but I don't
remember any bragging, at least on the net.

Speaking for myself, I generally like you 'Stralians, so good on ya Casey,
as long as you're on a Duc.  Maybe we could get Nicky on one some day.

So hang on to your humble pie.  You might get hungry one day.  :-)
