From the press release about Ducati Corse 2005: This project, which has come about due to the two companies' joint commitment to specifically develop [Bridgestone] tyres, will see Japanese rider Shinichi Itoh become official test-rider and will involve a group of dedicated technicians, including a Ducati Corse engineer. Itoh has been a Honda man for as long as I can remember. Poaching him for bike and tyre test duties is quite a coup. -- Julian Bond Email&MSM: julian.bond at voidstar.com Webmaster: http://www.ecademy.com/ Personal WebLog: http://www.voidstar.com/ M: +44 (0)77 5907 2173 T: +44 (0)192 0412 433 S: callto://julian.bond/
We mustn't show up the kids; they're trying to go fast like us! ;-) Actually, the high sides on radials look fearsome. -- Ed Light Smiley :-/ MS Smiley :-\ Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots.
Absolutely nothing. It's only that Itoh will not be 50 until 2016. That's a while. Meanwhile, I intend to peak at that age several years down the line... There's little reason not to be a very fit 50 these days, really,even though overall perception is still governed by obsolete perceptions of age.
After all Sir Alan Cathcart is 83. -- Julian Bond Email&MSM: julian.bond at voidstar.com Webmaster: http://www.ecademy.com/ Personal WebLog: http://www.voidstar.com/ M: +44 (0)77 5907 2173 T: +44 (0)192 0412 433 S: callto://julian.bond/
