I saw his dealership had got a ducati franchise so makes sense and good advertising for him plus getting out to play in another class......... bit strange as weeksy says as he has been so linked with Kawasaki for so long

He did race on an ORange GSE Ducati for a bit... I was more surprised at him returning at this stage, although Bayliss did it over in OZ and went really well.
Josh Day who's mates with Alan @Alan PBTD may have a bit to say about him winning though

He's never really been gone, he's been sidecar racing at national level for the last few years.
I'd imagine that's VERY different to hustling round a Superbike, even if a baby superbike like the 959. I wonder if he's been riding solos on track as well or if he'll be jumping straight into testing.
There's going to be some late nights spannering as the Cup bikes are far from stock.
I'm sure the Tri-Options is competitive, but it's for people who like Ducati's really.
I'm not dissing the competitors, but if you wanted to make a name for yourself in the racing world you'd be on a supersport/superstock. The Tri-Options is for people who have a day jobs, like racing and like Ducati's, imho.
