yes mr. henry i have watched lots of racing In moto gp they have won only one race and i doubt they will win another. this season.
And yes they are running well in BSB and WSB but they are rattled hence they are trying hard to get the rules changed for next year.... They know that there is not much more power to be had from the current engine and they are running scared \/

Not as long as Bolognese makes you parp will that ever happen! :P

HONDA did it

FPR did it too.

Kwak...The fact that Honda and FPR did it completely misses the point. One which it would appear you do not grasp!

We are talking about DUCATI here not manufacturers aiming at the great unwashed! :P *

Chog.......I have every confidance that I will be jumping on the ropes of the ring in Cassius Clay fashion before too long and screaming at you....."EAT YOUR WORDS!"

Ducati you doubt to win again this season? Your really having a laugh now! :P

*If that dont get a knee jerk then nuffin will!*

the point i do not grasp! is only the point that the sbk review put to colin wright 2 weeks ago!

:P You are right they may win one more race this year, that will equal the 2 wins they had last year and will bring there total MotoGp wins upto a massive 4 wins.

I still doubt they will win, and you still haven't answered why Ducati want the increase to 1200cc next season if there bikes are so competitive

Because they have to run the WSB and BSB in such a high state of tune to make the power. Which means they have to use expensive engine bits and bobs and also frequent rebuilds. which cost money.

IIRC the Honda SP2 that Colin Edwards rode in 2002 would do 1500 km's before a rebuild where as the Ducat of Baylis was doing 700 km's before a rebuild.

The argument goes for 1200 that if they run a bigger capacity bike. They wont have to tune it so higly to make power comparable with the IL4 so therefore it wont cost as much for Ducati to run a WSB or BSB team.

I'm sure Peter will correct me if I have got this wrong though

This makes perfect sense to me, but isn't this too tempting for the twin guys too tune thatbit more to get an advantage? I would in their place, winning makes you greedy.

Fizz....That was as good as if copied and pasted right from Ducati's own meeting notes! Well done that chap. :P
