He's baaaaaaaack ...

Sete Gibernau is back on track ... literally. Jerez is his home circuit and he'll be joining in the fun this weekend piloting the Guinea Ecuatorial Onde 2000 Ducati Desmosedici GP9 (say what?) for the MotoGP Official IRTA Test. I didn't think it was possible to make a Ducati look ugly just by painting it, but somehow these guys managed. Having been out of the game for awhile and still recovering from a shoulder operation and subsequent re-injury, Gibernau may have a tough time being competitive. He was a second and a half off the pace in Malaysia in February and missed Qatar because of his shoulder. At least he can keep Melandri company mid-pack. The good news is that once real racing starts, Rossi will be too busy at the front to make a fool out of him again.
