I think Ducati just cured the Desmosedici's front end problems.

How did you not see it coming? The riders we have in WSBK are poor - only the satellite teams have been consistent (Checa) - we just made a big MotoGP grab with Rossi, and the Superbike is being revised to a monocoque a la D16rr over the next two years.

Minimum weights have always been a method of controlling/equalizing competition. The MotoGP bikes have minimum weights even.

They also had to slap Aprilia around for using gear driven cams rather than chain driven - since that's not how their normal bikes work and it was arguably cheating.

arguably cheating. 

I doubt if it was that close to the line they would be allowed to race.  Anyway, it doesn't matter since there are no more Ducs so I'll root for the Beemer now.
