We realise this is not TT but we are sorry to see on the latest Ducati press release that Ducati Corse Xerox World Superbike Team have dropped James Toseland for 2006 replacing him with Troy Bayliss. Troy will partner Lorenzo Lanzi.

Ducati want to win.They stand a much better chance of that with Bayliss.

Dont agree with Bayliss he has been out of WSBK for a couple of years now & things have changed . Think James has been a little unfairly treated & hope if Vermuelen does well in Moto Gp & goes there James will get Ten Kate honda . However if i was Mr Ducati i would be after Lavilla who i think has been the outstanding rider this year in all classes.
