It'll be gifted from Corse to boost the results - that I would put money on!

Spoke with Colin Wright (Team Manager GSE Airwaves Ducati) at Thruxton. He said the electronics are now so complex they have a full time Ducati technician with the team and GSE are not allowed to start the engines unless he's in attendance!

So that's why you gone Deutsche then H, you got fed up with waiting for the Ducati technician to keep up

... full on sportsbikes - they're ruining my bones! Anyway, if I can ride my GS as quick as you ride your Multistrada I'll be well happy

The introduction of traction control in AMA isn't gonna help Ducati. Their problem appears to simply a lack of power due to the fact that tuning to the levels allowed in WSB are not allowed in AMA. IMHO.

The AMA championship is a bit of an oddball in that it doesn't have the same spec bikes as WSB/BSB and other domestic championships? Don't most of the good ole boys circuits go anti clockwise as well?? i.e more lefts than rights.

Would be very interesting to see Hodgeson back in WSB alongside Troy B to see what a few years in AMA have done for him??

AMA produced Nicky H who has done well on the world scene, did Kocinski come from AMA?? IMHO there is a lack of depth in the current field. B Boz looked like a good prospect years ago but has gone off the boil now????

is Colin Edwards ex AMA???
