*SHOCK*

 

I'm sure there's one than one side to the story, but his comments towards
the end are interesting. He seems to be of the opinion that they can't get
their act together, and perhaps he's riding on the edge a bit too much. I
take my hat off to any of the guys racing at that level. Would be nice to
see him on a good bike doing well. Then again, people will say 'But what
about Caparossi' so who knows ...

Dunno, maybe I'm being jingoistic but given the guy missed out on
rookie of the year last year by about 3 points from memory (and to
Haydon who was riding the make who have won what, 10 of the last 12 ?)
and considering Capirossi was having trouble finishing ahead of Xaus
and Hodgson on last year's bikes this year, I think Ducati are being
pretty harsh.

I guess with serious money at stake you get that, seems like Kawasaki
all over again though (what part of the bike was crap were they having
problems with ?).

Both Ducati and Kwaka have lifted their game in the second half of
this year and funnily enough Capirossi and Bayliss' results are
showing that (as the unchanged riders), I'm really not convinced that
Nakano is that much better a rider than McCoy and Pitt - given that
the first 5 races he was coming in at the same numbers the latter 2
were doing.

Bayliss and the ex SBK riders are simply not of the higher std. of MotoGP
riders

Be that as it may Bayliss is a lot better than a whole bunch and the bike he
is riding is not that crash hot after the great show in 03'.

Bayliss dug his own grave, the MOST important thing is to always beat your
teammate

Who would they go for now. Rossi wont switch unfortunatly.For mine he should
stay on
