Lorenzo Ducati Announcement Expected Next Week

I wouldn't bet against any insider news that Dean Adams reports. He posted this past Sunday it's a done deal so I'm not expecting anything different.

Soup :: Yamaha's Lorenzo Signs Two Year Ducati Deal :: 04-10-2016

"Last night Jorge Lorenzo and his management signed off on a deal that will see him join Ducati as their star factory rider in 2017.

Sources close to Lorenzo say they met one final time with Ducati and sponsors, where the deal was confirmed.

Audi and Phillip Morris representatives were also consulted on the final contract..."

Another great article on why he is leaving. http://superbikeplanet.com/2016/Apr/160406rydernotes.htm

The Andreas are not capable of winning on the new bike. GiGi has come this far. In order to finish the project, he needs top talent for the win. Lorenzo will make the switch and Ducati will have a real chance at winning next year. It may be the only time I hope Lorenzo wins...

one can only wish for a jlo stoner ducati team. i know that won't happen but i really like dovi he's a class act. stoner is 1 sec faster than both andreas now

If he wins with Ducati he will be a hero if he doesn't it will only make Stoner more 2 wheel god like. Meanwhile he will be the big pole in the sand at Ducati numero uno.

Dovi is actually looking pretty damn good despite his bad luck. If it wasn't for being taken out twice I believe he would have 59 points and be in second. Not saying that he's at Lorenzo's caliber but just saying he's not looking too shabby.

Agreed! I think the next few rounds will really suit the Honda/Yamaha bikes though.

Incredibly awful luck. Esp Tx.

I guess I don't see that- you have two decent guys posting good times and podium finishes. I think your talking apples and oranges comparing this bike with stoners old Ducati. I absolutely hate the fact that Lorenzo will be riding red. I'd rather see Marquez if they're looking for top talent. At lest he has a solid personality. I think letting go of Iannone will be a horrible mistake. I think he has what it takes to be great. Well see though

I'll repeat what I said in another thread, Wanting Stoner back is stupid, Dude may be fast while testing, on the track by himself. race pace is another story. Two, AI is still young, but he is fast, I agree letting him go is a bad move.

I don't think that was what the posters touting Stoner are referring to. I think that they are referring to the couple of RECENT tests Stoner has done for Ducati on the current bike at a couple of tracks. In both cases, he was noticeably quicker than either of the 2 current factory riders.

Now, granted, these were NOT in actual race conditions. They were practice sessions. But considering how good Stoner used to be; if he can turn faster laps than the 2 current guys while being a tad rusty, I think he would be an animal on the track again.

im not saying stoner would win if he entered right now. all im saying is the guy is freakin fast and supremely talented. id like to see him race again thats all.

stoner is a rare breed money doesnt really entice him however 15 million euro (said number for JLO per year) is hard to pass up.

one can only hope to see this again one of my favorite clips

In salary? Rossi, Lorenzo and Marquez currently make pretty much the same (I think $10 million this year). If Lorenzo does the Ducati deal, he should be the highest paid rider next year.

Now...if you take sponsorship/merchandising money into account..then you are most likely correct...
