If he can get off the line, which he hasn't managed so far, he stands every chance of taking the chequered flag. Sadly this could be his only chance - unless Ducati pull a rabbit out of the hat next year.
Lap record did they say? And what was that ridiculous slowing thing going on...top job Cal, leave on a high
Great performance by Cal. His bike can't be that bad surely? And well done to Bradley Smith. Out qualifying The Doctor, The Goat, 9 times World Champion Valentino Rossi. Well done to him also for beating the Ducatis.
Cal did a great job on Saturday. Just have to look on the positive side and hope that Audi are and will be kicking Ducati Corse's butt to produce a bike that Cal can work with in 2014/15. Otherwise Ducati's MGP project will be searching for a worm hole after the Dark Black hole that they've been in for the past 4 years.
Let's not forget the efforts of Herve Poncharal and Guy Coulon in producing a package that can take on the factories. They've done their best for several Englishmen over the years and deserve a pat on the back.
Yep, lap record and without getting a tow of any sort, not bad eh. well done Cal, get a good start today will you
