Ali ništa nepoznato nije objavljeno u tekstu, osim što bi dodao na kirbijev prevod da se žali na konstantni pad ulaganja u SBK, na činjenicu da je Ducati otišao "izvlačeći" se na pravilnik, a u biti je štednja razlog, itd.
Evo još malo informacija iz prve ruke(engleski valjda razumite), iz interviewa Colina Edwardsa na Superbikeplanet siteu (Q=question, A=answer)
Q In the middle of the season, there was a lot of innuendo about you and Ducati World Superbike. Was there ever anything there?
A Yeah, there was. They had pretty much given me the facts. I flew over just before Germany, Sachsenring race. I flew over a day early and went to Bologna and had a meeting with the guys. Pretty much, we were, I would say, in the ballpark. Pretty much agreed on most things. Nothing was signed, we just kind of ... I am my own manager, so it was pretty easy to sit there. They felt me out, I felt them out. Pretty quickly agreed on a bunch of numbers, term of contract and that kind of stuff. Nothing written down on paper, but just kind of, hey. They had said, "We don't know if we're staying." They told me up front, "Don't count on us. We might not stay. We would like to stay. If we do stay, we want you."
With Valentino coming over, that's going to be a big pull out of a lot of their resources, but at the same time, they were still, at that time, full forward about staying in Superbike. But they needed some rules tinkered around with. Obviously that fell through, and they just said, "Screw it. We're not going to race in a series that we can't win."
Q How do you feel about World Superbike with no Ducati in it?
A I'm not real sure about that. Not real sure if that's ... I don't know, man. You got everybody who's ... Nobody has any money. It sucks. Nobody has any money. It's crazy. And at the same time, when you've got known ... You've got good riders, let's say, offering to come ride MotoGP basically for free. Which is f*cking retarded, to put it bluntly. It's these dillweeds that are kind of screwing up things for others, because they're ... nobody really has a lot of money, and when they think they can get an equal or a little bit lesser caliber rider, "Maybe he'll come around this year, but well, we don't have to pay anything for him. Great! Sign him up!"
