I worked for a VW dealership (Audi is 99% owned by VW) and the corner cutting/poor workmanship were very evident and astounding. German engineering and workmanship, my ass. I have never been so disappointed in a brand of vehicle in my life.

I hope this does not spell the end for Ducati; they have done a very good job of building some of the best superbikes on the planet. I'd hate to see them go down the tubes by losing customers because they were building crap mandated by Piech who would be trying to squeeze a few more euros out of them.
 
hi guys i guess this could mean rossi leaving ducati ,,, because not enough money /cash for him or them and not enough imediate improvement we don,t want long term crap talk which auldi are noted for maybe it will not even look or go like a duk regards oldbiker
 
Rossi has nowhere else to go. Well maybe Kawasaki would give him a ride. teehee

Hopefully Audi will stay out of the actual running of the company.
 
id be more worried about World Superbike than GP anyways. WSBK is Ducatis game, and they are good at it. GP is a boring series and costs to much.
