I would much rather see the others have to play catch up. make the others work for it. I’m not even a Ducati fan. I can’t afford to be. Lol I love my Yamahas
Rea's gotta be feeling very much the way Sykes felt after Rea jumped onto the Kawi and proceeded to murder everyone like nothing.
I believe that the Yamaha 500 GP (maybe Suzuki?) bike in the 70's had shift shafts on both sides as the riders in that era rode bikes that had shifters on either side. Of course they also had 16 speed gearboxes and 250 RPM powerbands (out of 15,000 RPM). Different breed.

I doubt that. Sykes was getting murdered on the same like he had. That has to make a huge difference to one's mindset.
On clearly a much faster bike. But lets not get the facts get in the way of a good racing banter. The Rea haters have come out of the woodwork something ridiculous.
Can they put Chaz back on the 1199R? Wasnt sure if they can still run previous years bikes like thet did years ago.
So the factory Hondas finish last? They dump their outside team at the last moment too late for them to recover, bankrupt them, dump their American rider, and take it all in-house, and if anything they get worse results. I’m not so excited about Ducati’s superiority, they just built a better faster bike. Honda seems to have done the opposite, and achieved the opposite.
This is reminiscent of when Troy Bayliss won the championship in 2002. Oh, wait, no: there were two halves in the championship.
