at last someone speaks sense. bayliss was great on a superbike but get real! in the bigger picture would he even make the top ten in the last twenty years?
Do you mean me - talking sense.
Yes, it's taken until the last week of the year, but I've finally done it woohoo.
I still don't get the whole Bayliss is the best hype.
I think it's the WSB vs MotoGP thing, rather than Bayliss himself. My dad's bigger than your dad, Bayliss is better than (fave MGP rider) 'cause he spanked them all...With a better developed bike, better circuit knowlege and the #1 slot in the factory team, who knows? What if is a great game, numerous Brit riders didn't get the opportunity that he managed to do precisely didly with, could they have done better? Hislop, Foggarty, MacKenzie (to name just three) all beat the best in the world at one stage or another, but none of them took the top prize...How many of those would place top twenty? On the flip side, WSB hasn't exactly been a happy hunting ground for some of the best MGP riders around. How high did Max place?
I'd love to see the two race again, just because they would race, they both love the challenge as much as winning itself. And maybe that's the whole Bayliss appeal- the rest of the field are either anodyne or slightly crazy, there are very few true racers at the top of either series.
