Team Marlboro Ducati in thier efforts to be competitive in Moto GP has just signed with Bridgestone instead of Michelin. This is a very good bit of news for us Bridgestone riders as after time Bridgestone's Moto GP efforts will filter down to the very tires we buy from our favorite trackside supplier (Lithium Motorsports). ;D
Tamada is off stone's and was there only real shot at being competitive. Ducati going to stone's is a big white flag.
