All the motoGP has-beens move into Superbikes don't they :lol: :lol:

But seriously - Superbikes really does look like a home for ex-motoGP riders... Checa, Biaggi, Melandri..... Shows up the difference between genuine GP riders and average Superbike chaps???

Good point :)

But unique circumstances? Last race of the season, Rossi on his a**e, Hayden cruising to the title. Not the most competitive season either - Hayden picking up the title through consistency more than anything??

Not knocking what Bayliss did that day though, it was a great ride :D :D

I just think, looking at the front of the SBK field today, Checa and Max are a class apart.

I've been waiting for this comment from Rossi ever since his mate Max won the championship last year.

I didn't think Haslam did that badly last year against all the ex-GP guys & could have probably done a lot more with decent support from the factory.

Martin, you make a fair point. The championship was done and dusted by the time, so maybe TB was the only rider really trying :)

Carlos did make the rest of them look silly last time out.
