    I understand that the standard panigale out the showroom would be quicker than the BSB bikes,due to the new ecu regs implemented across the field, if thats true, your basicaly restricting the standard Ducati joe bloggs rides? Cant be right.

    get Karl harris on it. its needs a more competitive rider. bridewell would of been good on it if he was available.

    Not with Scott Smart on it. It should be 3+
    seconds in front every race. Strange why Ducati have chosen to waste such a feat of engineering and technology in its debut season.

    What, there are Panigales in BSB!! Haven't seen or heard a mention of them yet in the three races so far. Thought Rossi was the only struggler on a Ducati.
    Next you'll be telling us Norton are going to race at this years TT!

    Well lets be honest when Aprilia started racing the RSV4 and BMW started with the S100RR they weren't at the front straight away. Yes the Ducati may be a brilliant design and work well in testing but they haven't had the same amount of development work. With then only running in BSB they are the only teams able to feedback to the factory. If it was in World Superbikes too then this would speed up the development work and in that case then yes I definitely could see them winning races by the end of the season but as it stands the simple answer is no.
