Can't wait to see what he does on the Duc next season..

You got that right. If he fails, I think we are going to hear Italian fans all over the world just go nuts...
If he wins, 12.21.2012 won't match what happens in Italy :)
 
New desktop to add to my mix. Made this from a picture a friend took, combined with a background I found on DeviantArt. Not the best quality, but looks ok on my 13" screen.

I honestly think that he can win the Ducati. Rossi is a great development rider, look at what he did for Yamaha. He showed his true talent when he left Honda to go to a lesser bike. He developed their 900cc bike, which was not competitive, and continued with the 800cc bike. The wall went up in the Yamaha garage because he felt he was not given the credit for developing the bike, and Lorenzo was taking all his notes without giving anything back. It is going to be interesting seeing Rossi and Hayden on the same team again especially because this time they are both World Champions. Jerry Burgess going with him to Ducati will also help immensely. Still a Hayden fan from the 900cc days (yes he cried a lot when he won) so I'll be watching MotoGP more to see if Rossi can help Hayden out.

Secretly a Spies and Edwards fan too.

Completely agree with you.

Rossi is one of a kind, no question about it.

It was already crazy when he was winning with Honda and Yamaha, and I just can't start to imagine how crazy it'd get with Ducati.
If they can get the bike up to par, as far as reliability is concerned, with the japanese manufacturers, then yeah, I say it's not a done deal, but it'd definitely be possible.

I am a Mike Doohan fan myself. Grew up watching the guy :) ...
