The weight penalty was going to be added after they worked out the average points total of the Ducati.

I dont wear blinkers, but if the 4 cylinders hadnt taken each other out the total would be different.

We all know why they are allowed to run bigger engines, and they provide power in a different way, thats why they have good stomp out of the corners and lack top end.

There was was only a couple of dukes in the ten front runners in the last grid.hardly a white wash is it.

We all know Bayliss has amazing talent, he is the one that makes the difference..

WSBK » Preview – Monza

Fresh from a perfect Assen double, Troy Bayliss 2008 World Superbike championship leader continues his farewell tour in front of Ducati's home fans at Monza this weekend - an event he will start with a huge 70 point title lead.

I was under the impression that the Ducati''s were to have a weight penalty imposed on them if one won at Valencia - which Lanzi did.

Has that happened and I''ve just missed it, or was it something that Jonathan Green was imagining when he was calling the race?

Think he was imagining it. Although Bayliss is up front, four cylinders are second, third and fourth in the points so I don't think ducati will get a penalty...

Ducati 1st ,2nd,3rd and 4th at Monza,just as boring as ever.Im so glad im not watching the Ducati cup,the championship is already over.But the FIM are happy so its ok. Bring back a bit of fairness for goodness sake,viewing audiences have already shot down and im not surprised.Such a shame cos i used to love WSBK.

I think it is just Bayliss who is so dominant, not the Ducati's. The rules at the moment seem pretty fair. Monza should be good for the four cylinders with the long straights.

Totally agree with Donovan, it's Bayliss class what makes the difference..
When I was at Assen you saw that the Japanese bikes where equal and even faster than the Ducati's.. Also you can't blame ducati get on the podium if checa rides neukirchner off, can you??

Totally agree simon. It's also winning in BSB comfortably. The bike is ridiculous over powere compare to the fours. I also like Bayliss but he's only won when the duc has had a big advantage look at his history. The whole WSBK show is starting to look like the TB testimonial cup.

ps Biaggi would be comfortably second maybe even first without the accident. The only reason the rest aren't up there is because they never were....

If the Ducatis are so powerful why aren't the lap records tumbling, its just Bayliss making all the difference, Suzuki aren't far off as is Checa and the works Yams, the rest need to get their act together

It's hardly Troy Bayliss' fault if the 4 cylinder guys keep falling off or taking each other out is it? Haga, Nieto, Checa, Neukichner (not his fault mind) Corser have all
either fallen off or broken down. Troy has finished every race.
Consistency wins championships, not falling off.

I think Max Neukirchner is on for a damn good result at Monza, that GSXR has
already proven itself to be a rocketship at Qatar etc.
Besides which, he's in my MCN Fantasy team, so he better do well! LOL! :)
