I would have no issue with Cal going to Ducati, I dont think it would necessairily harm him hugely if he was on Nickys pace he would show that he is doing about the same as Rossi, Melandri, Checa, Gibernau, Capirossi, and that isnt bad company.
PLus he would get a hefty pay cheque, and stil be likely to drop into WSB on a good bike if it all doesnt work out.
In my mind he has proved a lot this year, Smith is no way ready to move up amnd that whole deal stinks of a footblall type contract that is binding relative to no results or form.
I dont doubt thet Brad is talented but so far this year has proved very little and should really be a little embarassed about the whole deal really
