Steve you obviously don't realise how much a part of a BSB meeting donuts are for me and BB.

No seriously, I think the only thing the 749 needs is a slight improvement in the chassis or suspension somewhere and it's not much of an improvement that's needed, remember at this level a very small change can make the difference between first and fifth. As the power is already there then most of the effort will have been put into the handling.

As for Ducati domination in any class, I don't really like to see it. I would much prefer to see the Ducati's battling for positions with lots of other makes, it's what makes racing truly interesting as well as exiting and the reason why I'm looking forward to next years SS championship so much. I'f there are 3 or 4 makes going for race wins and Ducati is one of them, then that'll do me. I suppose I support Ducati just like a football fan supports their team - you have to have faith. Either way it's looking another cracking season.

Did you see Alan Cathcart's test in Racer? He seems to think they could do it this year.
