If he didn't have bad luck, he'd have no luck at all.
I was at Assen when he won his first/only race - the guy was on fire. I thought for sure he'd keep challenging like that. It's too bad he's fallen off so drastically since then.
Sorry guys, Ben was the man in AMA, WSBK and his rookie year on Tech3. When he joined the Factory team, seamed like he couldn't quite pull it together. Now then with Ducati, though I understand his shoulder was worse than he let on, I'm not sure if its more physical or mental at this point.
We'll see if he can come back and at least challenge Dovi.
