I had a thing for the Bianci's that Bayliss had when they were a minor sponsor of the WSBK team...

There's something ironic about a cigarette brand on a race bicycle (more so than a motorcycle, even).

A little thread drift here too but since we are on Spies and bikes and he most likely rides around White Rock Lake here is Dallas (along with everyone else!
), the last time I drove by the lake loop I saw a man and woman riding together on very nice bikes with full cycling gear and they BOTH were smoking cigarettes!!. Couldn't believe it!!
The Marlboro/Kuota bike reminded me. Crazy stuff.

With the same fuel restrictions, I really wonder how much the change to 1000cc will make. The engines *may* be a little less peaky, but they're not going to be point and shoot a like a superbike or like the 990cc MotoGP bikes. Get rid of the fuel capacity limitation (or raise it). Then the bikes would be the devil, and The Ben would be even more fun to watch.

I'd love to see him test one of the old 990cc GP bikes for fun and listen to what he thinks about them.

Get rid of fuel capacity and also get rid of limited engines. I honestly don't think limiting engines is as big of a cost savings measure as they claim. The R&D to make high hp engines that don't explode probably costs more than replacing them every week.

I was wondering the same thing about the new engines with the same fuel restriction.
Haven't quite got my head wrapped completely around it, but right now I'm thinking the same as Spidey, it'll not be much different.

what, the name or the fact that he has a team? the latter has been mentioned/linked to around here many times.

It all starts innocuously by tagging adjectives to your names. Before you know it it's snowballed into bedazzled jackets and post win celebrations. BE AFRAID.
