"My style is the opposite of what this bike requires," he said. "I feel like I'm in the wet, even when it is dry. I do not know (if my future is with Ducati). My contract runs for two years and relations are good."
In fact, the position of Melandri on the team has been under the purview called shortly after former Ducati rider Sete Gibernau to test before round Donington Park. Rumours are circulating now that could be destined for a shock return from retirement.
Although it is unclear whether Gibernau that a third career Ducati or replace Melandri, the Italian hinted that he will walk until someone can do better if they can.
"I think we need to find the most logical way for both sides. If things go wrong for too long, not in their interests or mine. If someone can do better than me, I'm willing to accept it."
