It was with almost no surprise whatsoever that I learned Alvaro Bautista had joined Chaz Davies in the official Ducati WSB squad, when the press release pinged in my inbox. Alvaro’s time in GP, really, was up three years ago. But he hung in there, and the last time we spoke (when he was riding for Aprilia), he was determined to try and make it somewhere near the front of MotoGP – one last try.
