FWIW, in terms of wins and podiums on the 800 Ducati, Elias comes in 3rd
behind Stoner and Capirossi. And he's available again. As is De Angelis.
Assuming Stoner does return and Canepa leaves, there's a Pramac ride and
potentially a 5th Ducat ride.

Your exactly right leading out with "FWIW" The bike hasn't made anyone
and has broke or nearly broke several!
