It’s going to be hard to beat Rea. The dude can race and they have the ZX10 dialed in just for him. Giving how much Ducati pays to keep their Motogp efforts going, I don’t see them going all out to get the WSB title. Honda might care about WSB again at some point but I doubt it. Aprilia should chuck thrir piss poor GP teams and go back to WSB as a factory effort. Yamaha is a mess all around and can’t win in GP or WSB. KTM is going no place in GP and at some point the Board will can this team too. KTM should use the bike as a basis for a new street super bike to replace the RC8R, which I had and really liked. Odd man out is Tom Sykes, love to see him come to America and race.
 
The key is power delivery and tire management. Can Ducati get the power down without eating up rubber. That's where the V4 w/Big Bang Firing suppose to help give it an advantage.
 
I think Ducati is dead serious about getting back to the top in WSBK, hence the V4.
Someone has to do something, JR and KRT have stunk the show up so bad it's hardly worth watching anymore, look at the bike count, that say's it all.
 
True but I’ve watched WSB and for many years it was the Ducati Cup. Obviously I like them but seeing a whole field of Ducatis and four other bikes was boring. But yes I hope it’s a serious factory effort and not just a so so effort. With Lorenzo gone that should free up lots of cash for it.
