WSBK » Biaggi signs!

I dont understand why everybody is so concerned about the 1200cc engine. Even with the extra 200cc its still a twin! A stock 1098 makes 160hp compared to a stock GSXR or the new Blade that makes 175-190hp with 2 extra cylinders. So even with all the available tuning the Ducati still wont be this all conquering race bike. Does anyone have any idea the level of tuning it took to make the 999 even remotely competitive compared to the Jap bikes? I understand that Bayliss make the bike look awesome but THATS TROY BAYLISS!!! Look at all the other 999 pilots and their mediocre results. Lanzi is a great example.

The new 1098R its going to be all that. It will only because of Bayliss.

Who cares about Maxs' riding ability or whether you love or hate him. Max is a colourful character and watching his prima-donna actions, tantrums and now the toupee, this guy has me in stitches. WSBK needs characters like this to add to the excitement factor both on and off track. Viva Max Biaggi...and rug!!!

Well done Max, losing Max would have been a tragedy. Hope he kicks Troy i don't like a good team Bayliss's ****. Also just can't wait to see Max beat Haga face like a chapped **** Haga.WSB is going to be awsome 2009.

Sorry i meant 2008, getting carried away.

Pleased Max got a ride just for entertainment!
I did'nt know what people were on about toopay?
Just been to www.motorcyclenews.com and seen a close up of his head simply magic pure entertainment. You have to have balls to put that on your head.

Gawd, Checa, Biaggi, possibly Barros again too.
WSB is becoming a rest-home for has-beens.
More zimmer frames than paddock stands, colostomy bags fitted as standard to 1098R's.
Would somebody PLEASE put these old crusties out of their misery

He rammed Haga out of the title contention this season,
who will it be next year, Bayliss?
There's no end to the selfishness of this man.

ducati will never allow satellite team to beat factory team. a perfect example is this year in motogp, alex barros was told he could not finish ahead of the factory guys.

Next year will be ducati world domination

Definitely an interesting move (for Ducati/Bayliss) but glad we'll be watching him on the telly next season. Obviously Ducati must has made some big promises for him to ride with a satellite team in terms of parts availability etc... v-twin should suit his style as well... I love watching non-factory teams be competitive... He'll be close next year with Toes gone.
