That was a great race for Bayliss, But don't forget he spent what 2 years in GP? And he was never much of a threat to well, anyone.

Now I think Troy is one of the best riders in the world, and I like him a lot. But he couldn't ride those GP bikes, except for one time.

Now on WSB's particularly Troy on the Ducati, and Rossi on the R1, I'm not Rossi's good enough to overcome the disadvantages.

Well it's not as if Troy won every race and I believe that Haga gave him a run for his money a couple of times this year! besides,Yamaha has a new bike out that they belive will be competative next year. It can't happen but really,I'd like to see them both on the same bike,perhaps even bikes that are set up the same way or even stock! To me,that's the only real way to measure compatative skill between the riders!

exactly Corser finished 2nd in the championship with Haga 3rd... they both beat Bayliss on more than one occasion. I think Rossi would be just fine on any of the WSBK factory bikes


and yeah I'd like to see them both on same bike...
