I think a big part of that was the complete lack of front end feel from the Ducati (GP bikes). It uses a frameless design...pretty hard to tune chassis flex when the head tube and swing arm are bolted to the motor.
And my favourite aussie racer ever...and Ducati racing legend. When no one thought Carl Fogarty could be replaced...
1 time British Superbike champion and 3 time World Superbike champion on 3 different Ducatis TROY BAYLISS
The true gentleman of WSBK racing. Always out to have fun, and never settling for anything other than 1st place. WSBK was so fucking incredible when he was still racing. I'm hoping Carlos Checa can represent on the Althea Ducati this weekend at Phillip Island.
I even put 21 decals on the factory number plate on my 999

Smells of Raw Fuel
All the electronics are going to, as they did last season, have a major effect. Traction control, abs, these are hurting some riders I think. I'll have to find the article, but one rider's crew chief removed some springs entirely in order to dial in the bike. The rider was "not in control, the bike was", as he said. It'll be an interesting season.
