I'm curious about 2011. It's the last year of the 800's, so I'm not sure how much the factories are going to invest in a configuration that is on its last leg. Certainly Yamaha will once again be in pole position. I can see Stoner putting the Honda to better use than Pedrosa has.
Sure enough though, Ducati have not been as threatening as they were in 2008 and parts of 2009. With that said, I believe Ducati just missed the plot this year. From what I've read, they were trying to improve the rear of the bike. But in doing so, they ruined the front, which was a strong point in prior years. Certainly they will need an influx of funds in order to gain the lost ground, and prepare for 2012.
