As far as the Honda goes, it is a new bike for 08 and nobody had any success with it until the second half of the season. Not in BSB or in WSBK. Now the bike is maturing and we see Kiyo and Checa coming good in WSBK and Haslam and Crutchlow in BSB. I don't think Leon should be singled out for not performing on a bike that initially everyone struggled with.

Anyway, good luck to the boy. I was a big fan of his dad and I would love to see the son doing well at world level.

Blimey! Looks like I''d better dust off the z650 and my leathers. I could have a shot at the BSB title myself :)

A certain Mr.Rutter for the 2009 BSB crown on a factory Ducati possibly ? Maybe Bayliss should make the move in the opposite direction and join the BSB paddock !! :D

It was mentioned on swedish Eurosport, maybe by Stiggy himself, that he is planning to have a bike or two in WSB.

If Stiggy dont put some *** together and get Brooksey on a Superbike then they are mad! Brooksey is a legend Superbike rider, far better than Supersport. If they can put him on a decent bike, he will win races!

I hope this isn't true for Leon's sake. He has already had an uncompetitive ride in WSBK (Renegade Ducati) and now he wants another? He shouldn't have left Airwaves Ducati when he did, he would probably be sitting at the top of the championship now if not, and he shouldn't be leaving HM Plant Honda now, just to be warming the back of the grid in WSBK. Stay in BSB, win that then move on for a better ride. He is no James Toseland or even Neil Hodgson, and he is still relatively young (look at Bayliss, Corser, Biaggi, Haga - all at the top of their game, all well into their 30s) so there is no rush.

He only left Ducati when GSE disbanded at the end of 07?

"shouldn't have left Airwaves Ducati when he did, he would probably be sitting at the top of the championship now if not,"
Don't ya think Shakey might have had something to say about this....... the HM Plant Honda was the winning bike in 07, Shakey put the Airwaves Ducati back on top this season..... why didn't Leon achive this in 07, or on the "top" bike in 08??

Chaz - probably something to do with the fact that the Honda was ALL NEW for '08!
