Will a Lorenzo-Ducati Partnership yield fruitful dividends ?

(From Right to Left)Lorenzo-Marquez-Rossi in 2015
The 2016 MotoGP has been quite Silly as all the drama that started last year involving the Rossi-Marquez clash which also roped Lorenzo in between too has been carried forward which led to a Cold-war between the Front-Runners in turn making everything boring and weird.

Since It has been announced that Lorenzo will be Signing a 2-year deal with Ducati as the Italian Marque offered Lorenzo an offer he couldn't refuse, and now all the attention is on that whether the newly formed partnership will yield dividends or not as Ducati hasn't been able to win a single race since 2010 when the Great Casey Stoner used to race the Desmosedeci and Score Podiums and Wins.

Now Lorenzo who'll be Riding the Red bike by which I mean the Ducati Desmosedici GP16 or whatever as they can name it GP16.2 like the way they did in 2015 which will be Interesting to see as Switching from the Blue leathers to Red and that too in a completely new environment will be Something we all wanted to see.

Ducati Corse, who's been chasing Lorenzo for 5 years now as in 2009 they even went on to say that he can be a replacement for Casey Stoner when Stoner was having some serious health issues but Lorenzo didn't show an overwhelming response opening the door wide open for Valentino Rossi who Joined his Home team and with all the Excitement and the Anticipation growing inside the paddock that "He'll bring Ducati to the front", "He's Developed Yamaha now he'll do the same with Ducati" and other Stuff, Rossi made a fool of himself for 2 consecutive years and then came back to Yamaha convincing everyone that Riding the
Desmosedici to the maximum is not everyone's cup of tea except one guy, Casey Stoner.

As a Ducati Rider, Jorge Lorenzo will be under an Immense pressure from everyone including himself and other riders as he could've stayed with Yamaha and won more titles which would've been easy for him as he's used to beat Rossi but now since he chose to go the hard way, it'll be crucial for him to Prove everyone that he can win taking the Ducati and he can even challenge for the World Championship.

Let's see what happens in 2017 as it'll see all the front runners(Lorenzo,Marquez,Rossi) on Different bikes for the first time since a long time ago which means complete freedom of banging wheels and shoulders as the other person is not your Team-mate anymore which will provide some serious entertainment no matter who wins or who looses.

For the time all we can do is say all the Best to Jorge Lorenzo who started his Career with Yamaha, now moving forward to Ducati as everyone has to leave their first teams some day or the other but nevertheless it's a part of Racing and teams don't decide your fate, it's the Rider who does everything.

Casey Soner embarassing factory riders

The starting of the MotoGP testing 2016 saw a big surprise as the most-naturally talented MotoGP rider, Casey Stoner got on the Ducati GP16 bike but this time as a test rider which was of course the most shocking thing as the rider who can easily rattle Rossi,Marquez and Lorenzo is testing bikes for Ducati ? Yes but sadly it's the truth and  we all have to deal with it as Stoner made up his mind in 2012 to go to fishing instead of going racing as different people have not so usual opinions(sometimes weird) about a lot of things.
Everyone in the paddock must be laughing at the Ducati Factory team because even if we digest the fact that he's a test rider which is hard to believe but what we cannot  digest is that the lap times of Stoner around the Sepang Track during the Testing as they were faster than both the Ducati Factory riders(yes...you heard it right) which makes us think that why Stoner is not coming as a regular rider
as he's clearly shown that the bike has a lot of potential which is way more than what Andrea Dovizioso and Andrea Iannone are able to extract from the GP16.
Stoner in 2007
A situation like this is like having a $4000 guitar with strings of a $400 guitar as it won't play up to to the best level without them and that's the situation which is being faced by Ducati as Stoner is a serious competitor on that bike given that he didn't race for 3 long years and he has not tested any bike for the last 1 year, still he was able to go faster than the riders who were competing with the best last year and on some occasions they were able to be as fast as the best riders on that Ducati GP15.
All this brings us to only one Conclusion that Stoner can challenge the top riders if he comes as a regular rider in 2016 but in the mean time we can only ask that "Casey! Why you are not coming to racing instead of testing"
