To get one important question out of the way first (I'll come to The Big Question later), Ducati will be running a big bang engine next year. Nicky Hayden said he preferred the feel of it, Filippo Preziosi said that the Screamer had "good potential" - code, in case you haven't guessed, for being very rough around the edges - but the big bang does what it is supposed to do: give the rider great feedback.
The Screamer vs Big Bang decision was what the Valencia tests were ostensibly about before Valentino Rossi turned a wheel on the track, but with the Italian legend ending day one in 10th, and day two in 15th, all that changed. While the man who had left Ducati to ride for Honda was scorching around on day one, then setting the fastest time on day two, Valentino Rossi, who had taken Casey Stoner's place in Ducati, was wobbling around at the rear.
