I am happy to see another year with multiple manufacturers going for the title, rather then past WSBK years of it being the Ducati Cup. But we shall see if the combination of Bayliss and the extra 200 cc's of displacement can bring Ducati another title. Its too bad Ten Kate Honda couldn't find a good replacement team for JT. I just don't see C. Checa being a title contender, not with the competition this year.
