The Alice team is a satellite team - like every other manufacturer, the kit and support is never up to the same level as the factory team.
Why do certain people seem to delight at having a pop at Ducati? At least the Alice team started the season with 2008 bikes identical to the works team. Why didn't Elias win then? Honda has been supplying their satellite teams with the 2007 machine.
Ducati is a small operation without the resources of the Japanese factories and as such has done extremely well. Next season, there will be 5 Ducati's on the grid. From Suzuki and Kawasaki, only 2 each. Nuff said.
Elias has never been that hot on anything & it's a case of a poor workman blaming his tools :rol

Spoilt brat vr, are you an Ocker? if you read what I said you would understand Mamola only stated what is common knowledge in the Moto GP fraternity about Stoner using the electronics on the bike, nobody said he was not a damm good rider! regards Tech 3, they have bikes which are closer to the full factory bikes than most satelite bikes, Toseland is learning and shows promise, Edwards is probably cruising but neither are in Lorenzo's class. I don't really care why Nankano got factory bits but he did and acknowleged it, as for Hayden the press certainly have done a good PR job on him, why not wait and see how he goes next year! if he goes good I will admit he is a better rider than I think !

Regarding WSB, Suzuki had most power at least in the first half of the season. It could be seen clearlly on the straits.

And on the second half of the season Yamaha got their active suspension working wich also could be seen in the results.

I do not think that current rules are unfair or unbalanced. It not like 10 years ago when it was simply impossible to win on anything else then a ducati. Most of this year it was close racing where tyrewear was a larger factor. As long as different engine configuration will be allowed we need to even out the diff by wheight or CC. (500cc 2stroke vs 990cc 4stroke)

SBK final result
1. Ducati
2. Yamaha
3. Yamaha
4. Honda
5. Suzuki
