He had a front end problem with the Ducati (one that brought him down, even after he signed with Honda, as some may remember)... a problem that continues to plague Ducati at times. Yet, he still kept winning on a bike that most other riders deemed unrideable...
What he can do with Bridgestone (or any other tire) he has shown plenty... I still think that he is the best rider in the paddock these days. Shame to see him retire.
