Bayliss is gonna be tough to beat for shure, but now that the four cylinder bikes have electronics that are somehwere nearer that of the ducati its not gonna be that easy for Troy B. For that reason i think the Ducati advantage has gone and its gonna be a fairer fight this year. Don't get me wrong, bayliss is an excellent rider, and was the best guy out there last year, but i think a lot of other riders are geared up for the title better this year than they were last.
