| I agree that he is doing all that is expected of him but the point is,who is his competition.?
Xaus has proved that if he manages to stay on the bike nobody can look at him.
There is a reason nobody (apart from Xaus)has gone quicker than Hodgson on a 999.
Nobody else races them yet.
Ducati don't make 999rs's for anyone yet.
Even next year the only other team that will be racing 999's next year will be GSE.
If they are still racing world superbike.
Even they are getting fed up with the championship.
It's difficult getting sponsors in the first place but keeping them interested in a championship that is dying a death is very difficult.
GSE realise this and are now trying to move to gp.
Granted nobody can say that if Edwards was still in superbike Hodgson wouldn't win,but who is to say that he would win.?
He didn't do much against him last year. |
