Its looking good!!!
I reckon that Rutter's the man, familiarity and experience. Reynolds will be there or there abouts, but the Suzuki is an all new bike and with a new team manager - a bit unsettled for he first part of the year I reckon. Scott Smart will take longer to get used to it too - 2006 will be his year!!
I reckon that with the factory backing the ZX10 will spring a few surprises as well, as you say if Glen can get confident then they'll be up there.
Hopefully the Virgin Yamaha will make a better fist of it next year, and there are plenty of great riders on good bikes that can stir things up a bit.
As for Ducatis? We'll I'm hoping for improvement over this year, but they really seemed to struggle with a base setup that would work at all tracks and only really shone on certain tracks - maybe they've resolved issues, but the dominance is now a distant memory and being consistant and competitive on all tracks would be a step in the right direction I reckon.
Only 16 weeks or so to go!!!
