Did I miss this, or just forget?! Chaz Davies on the factory Ducati WSBK team. [thumbsup] Hopefully they give him a competitive bike this season!

You missed it, at least I've seen it.
The bike is still slow, you can't pull much more power from the twin. The most they can hope for is to better the handling so that they can square off the corners and use the torque on exit. So, turn it into a Honda without the top end.
I've always liked Davies. Damn good racer without any drama or bullshit.
I just hope he's not a distant backmarker and part of the rolling chicane for the fast guys and bikes. If anyone can squeeze some results from that wheelbarrow he can. [thumbsup]
