shakey is a bloody good rider but even so put him on another bike and i dont think he would be winning week in week out ... tis a shame as its so boring as even when he was in 6th place you knew it was going to be last 6 laps and he would be at the front

I'm not saying there is nothing in this ducati thing ..... however for me yet .... the results do not bare out that there is a massive gulf between the bikes....... its a difficult balance to get these different engine designs onto a level playing field ...and you will always get oneside claiming foul...
However for years now i've enjoyed the superbike championships because of the differences not despite them ..... and although i feel there may be a problem in BSB cause shakey in my opinion is not the best rider out there......
In wsb after bayliss the next ducati is in 7th place
..... and no one could honestly say that bayliss is not one of if not the best rider ever to ride in WSB.... its his last year and he is going for it
check out the results for both series ...and ask yourself is the problem as big as its being made out to be
