The word 'unstoppable' comes to mind. Really, the state of play in the WSBK is a bit poor at the moment. It's a Ducati benefit at the moment, with only one Honda and one Aprilia as main challengers (I don't count Suzuki (lost interest) and Kawasaki (how old is that bike now?)

Bayliss may be challenged from within Ducati itself, like Xaus and perhaps Chili, and Edwards may be in for a fight, but I don't see Bayliss being beaten.

And in an interview I saw on the weekend, he did state he would like a crack at MotoGP if he gets the oppurtunity, but he said age may be a factor against him. But because he's riding so well, and is so full of confidence, why not give him a ride despite that!!

It has always been a Ducati benifit. Except this year there are more equal Ducatis than when say Carl Fogarty won those titles.

Has it always been rigged? When did Carl not win? And who did on what?

Answer: Troy Corser on a Duke when Carl was on the Hinda RC45.

But for all that Bayliss did well. Good onya Troy.

He's good.... real good.

I think Xaus, Bostrom, will have their days, while Haga and Edwards are good in spurts, but can't keep it up.

My men of the moment are Chris Walker riding on a new bike whilst still suffering from the effects of Bells Palsy and Neil Hodgson riding on last year's bike and nearly beating Ben Bostrom twice.

Can Charlie Cox go back to Touring Cars or to Formula One out of the way of the real racing.

Bayliss is class pure nad simple. As for Xaus and Bostrom they seem to dependant on the bike being right. Hodgson was excellent. Remember he is doing exactly the same as Capirossi did last year in GP on a year old bike. Walker I don't know he is getting the sympathy vote and won't like getting beat by Izutsu.
Edwards looked a threat but seemed to be riding on the edge to keep up. Watching Bayliss was like watching Doohan, effortless.
As for GP he will be the main man surely. Who else is there. Xaus becase he is Spanish. Won't be Bostrom unless they run Dunlops.Capirex has been courted by Ducati and Biaggi so maybe Troy and Max, coolio

It would be great to see Bayliss put in a year of GP's, after he cleans up again this year. He is on a mission!
