Ducati has shown very good speed, and in practice have shown they do have strong pace that could last the whole race.
Personally I think Iannone will be the man to do it, or perhaps Petrucci. Dovizioso just doesn't impress me. He has ridden basically all the best bikes, factory Honda, might as well have been factory Tech 3 Yamaha, factory Ducati.... Yet he has one single win to his name in the top class. Is he a very good rider? Yes. But he misses the passion and lap to lap consistency that is required to make that extra step to push the whole race for a win. Not bashing Dovi but his record isn't the best considering the bikes he rode.
Petrucci is fast as fuck. But he's really only a mid-packer. He could win by circumstance, maybe.
Pirro hasn't really been very fast on race day. And yes, he counts considering he races almost every race weekend since the Ducati is constantly trying to murder all of it's riders.
Redding hasn't really shown anything close to his Moto2 form. Not expecting him to do much besides fight for 10th place.
Hernandez, Baz and Laverty just aren't impressive at all.
