I agree in the fact the electronics should be removed - but I guess you could argue that would reduce rider safety.

We all want the riders to be safe (even though this is motorsport), but what we want is for the good riders to shine, and those poor riders to lag at the back.

Wasn't it Honda who pushed for the 800cc bikes, thinking they would clean up in MotoGP? Under the guise of rider safety of course.

And why the dig at Stoner? He's obviously a good rider. Look at where his team mate keeps finishing!!

Will be good to see haydenon the Ducati next year......both riders will be fighting for the title I hope It will defo make the series more interesting for 2009, in my opinion. I guess time will tell.

I hope he can make it all work on the Ducati, otherwise it will be Kawasaki or wait for Louis to call it a day at Suzuki The Vermin is probably signed for Suzuki by now.
